under environmental testing contributed heavily toward
delivery schedule slippage on the second (602) 13C
sys~^m. He attributed this trouble to a bad batch of
com~,~,nents (capacitors, diodes, etc.) and felt confident
that with the solution of this problem they could adhere
to a more realistic schedule which is included as
