N1 - Funding Information:
We would like to thank the members of the ZEUS collaboration, in particular our colleagues from the Calorimeter Group for their support in building our test setup at CERN, and for many useful discussions. Special thanks are due to R. Dabrowski, W. Dominik D. Genser, M. Hamela, Z. Mazur and technicians from Warsaw University for building the BAC chambers. We also thank K. Jelen t'or many advices and help in preparing the tests as well as W. Filipek fl~r his work on assembling the BAC detector at CERN. We appreciate the hospitality and excellent technical support we have received at CERN, where the measurements have been performed. This work would have not been possible without the financial support from DESY.

N2 - We have studied the combined performance of two calorimeters, the high resolution uranium-scintillator prototype of the ZEUS forward calorimeter (FCAL), followed by a prototype of the coarser ZEUS backing calorimeter (BAC), made out of thick iron plates interleaved with planes of aluminium proportional chambers. The test results, obtained in an exposure of the calorimeter system to a hadron test beam at the CERN SPS, show that the backing calorimeter does fulfill its role of recognizing the energy leaking out of the FCAL calorimeter. The measurement of this energy is feasible, if an appropriate calibration of the BAC calorimeter is performed.
