Okay I am back.
I couldn't locate any pictures of each slit alone without any shields. So I set the single slit and the double slit back up on their original stations and took some more pictures.
left slit open and right slit closed with camera focused on centerline of experiment.

right slit open and left slit closed with camera focused on center of single slit pattern

I hope this helps in the experiment analysis. I am also going to upload a diagram and pictures to my earlier thread to aid in that experiment's evaluation; now that I have been shown how to do that.
Thanks again for the enterest.

Comparing the images of the right slit open with the transverse shield in place:
and the right slit open without the transverse shield in place:
Why is the intensity decreasing so strongly in both directions with the shield in place? I can see two faint side lobes on each side with the shield in place. Maybe the second one to the right is a tiny bit stronger than the one to the left, but it doesn't seem to be by a lot.

Here are some more pictures.
I do not know if the faint light you are seeing to the left of the first inside peripheral beam for the right slit is real. If it is, then I uploaded the wrong picture. Sense I have to crop and reduce the pictures I am uploading I am pulling them from the ones I used to set up the experiment and not the final pictures.
The recent pictures where at a longer exposure than the earlier pictures. To get a sharp picture of the double slit spacing requires a short exposure and I tried originally to keep the exposure the same for all conditions.
Here is the right slit only with the transverse shield and at a long exposure.

I also did a version of this experiment with a tighter divergent angle in which the center intensities was where the double slit spacing occurred. Unfortunately by coincidence the double slit spacing and the spacing that would occur from light hitting the transverse shield was mathematically the same and did not allow for certainty as to the pattern source. That is why I did this newer version.
This picture is a long exposure from that first experiment with both slits open and only the transverse shield in place.
I am only including it because it shows the peripheral bans on the outside and the blocking of peripheral bans of the same intensity by the transverse shield on the inside.

As I mentioned I only included this last picture to demonstrate the lack of refraction by the transverse shield and not to open a discussion on another experiment.
Thanks again for all your comments.
