Approved For Release 2006/03/10 : CIA-RDP66B00728R0001000400 SPECIAL HANDLING that I confirm, through contractual channels, the questions which were presented at this meeting. I feel that definitive answers to these questions are essential in order to determine certain parameters essential to design and fabrication of the Gamma I and Gamma II Rectifying Printers. 1. Since easel curvature recreates the earth's surface in map scale, its shape is primarily dependent on flight altitude. Two sources of informa- tion on the altitudes of the Gamma I input have provided values which have disagreed significantly. The rectification theory is not influenced by flight altitude, but the focusing function of the lens, the easel tilt, lens field, and lens tilt are influenced. What is the mean altitude of the 24" tipped missions to date? What is the plus, minus variance from the mean? What will be the altitude of future missions? Is the nominal flight altitude for the Gamma II (36" focal length) input the same as for the Gamma I? What is the expected variance? 2. For the 24" system there are 10 scan cycle steps for 10 settings of V/H. These are known to us and we can determine the residual geometric dis- tortion. What is the scan cycle rate for the 36" system? Usually expressed as seconds per 3600 cycle or radians/sec. 3. Format and Film Data - Is the film of the 36" system exactly 6.600 inches wide? Verify format width of 6.300 inches. Where is the format located with respect to film edges? Sometimes it is offset a small amount. Copy # August 16, 1962 If at all possible,would you exert your best efforts to supply us with this information as soon as possible.
