/**
   Provides information about an "anode face" which consists of a
   number of parallel wire planes, each consisting of a number of
   parallel wires.
  
   Information includes:
 
   - Internal geometry of the wires in their planes and how they
   relate to a coordinate system of the larger enclosing volume.

   - field response information
  
   - wire/channel connectivity and numbering
