4. The effect of the Kapton film surfaces (which contact with the specimen surfaces normal to the y axis) as well as the PTFE surfaces (which contact with the specimen surfaces normal to the x axis) on orientation of hex-cyl were found to be negligible. This was well described in the second paragraph of section 3.3 (page 5927) of ref 1, though "PET sheets" normal to the y axis in the paragraph of ref 1 was indicated to be a mistake and should be "Kapton sheets" as corrected in ref 3, and also the "PET sheets" normal to the x axis in the paragraph of ref 1 was a mistake and should be "PTFE surfaces".
