The SLD barrel Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) has been in full operation for two years at the SLAC Linear Collider. The authors report on operational experience with and experimental performance of the SLD barrel Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector from the 1992 and 1993 physics runs. The liquid (C[sub 6]F[sub 14]) and gas (C[sub 5]F[sub 12]) radiator recirculation system shave performed well, and the drift gas supply system has operated successfully with TMAE for three years. Cherenkov rings have been observed from both the liquid and gas radiators. The number and angular resolution of Cherenkov photons have been measured, and found to be close to design specification.
