Abstract :
I present a description of the design philosophy, hardware implementation, and operation of the system used to place beams transferred in either direction between the Main Ring and Tevatron accelerators into specified RF buckets of the receiving machine. The system provides reliable phase coordinate placement with 0.09° resolution without beam measurements of any kind. The system also controls the collision point in the Tevatron during the Fermilab colliding beams HEP program with 0.689 mm resolution
