Evaluation and Analysis of'the following test missions- a. 73 - "B" Missions b. 11 - "C" Missions c. 2 - A-2 Missions d. 1 - A-1 Mission Approximately 650, 0.00 feet of.film'was viewed in.making the' evaluations on the'above missions. the viewing of an.additibnal.60,.000:,to 75, 000 feet of material.... 2. Evaluation of about 25 missions at?Proj:ect. Hqs. and E., K. which included 2. I' The majority. of these 'were "B" missions which, in'most cases, showed a marked increase in quality over that which had Been obtained in.previous seasons. Several of these were of even better quality than.. that obtained'in locaLtest missions-under more or less ideal operation conditions. . Some of the problem areas detected by viewing this material were a light leak and the slipping of a:frame (thought to.be.a- shutter. malfunction) both of which were evidenced only in the on-off operation duzi ng operational missions and not in test missions where the unit was run continuously. Both of these conditions have since been corrected. Another area of concern, a loss of quality during the'initial portion of these missions, is being investigated. It is suspected the cause may be due to the rapid temperature change in the equipment bay causing increased distortion in the lens system. Verification of this hypothesis and consequent remedial actions are being sought through a series of test flights to be flown early in 1959 so that maximum quality may be obtained through all of each mission in the 1959 season. The quality of the A-2 take viewed remained up to the same high standard established during the-previous seasons. 3. An S-Curve analysis was established to record progress made during product improvement program on the "B". Also, this was used to establish minimum acceptability standards of quality prior to shipment of each unit. 3. 1 The product improvement program entered into at the beginning of the year resulted in the average quality on the "B" being increased from approximately 25 1/mm.to 35-40 1/mm or an increase of about 10- 15 1/mm. This increase is being noted throughout as the minimum quality obtained was raised from 10 to 25 I/mm and the maximum changed from 35 to 40 up to 45 to 50,1. Therefore, a mean' of 35 1/mm was established as minimum quality on all units before acceptance for shipment.

Call-, a Contract HF-CT-696 (Work Order 325) was started,1 July 1958, with. total of four Calls to each Customer submitted through 31 December 0 58., This contract is 98% on schedule. P. ardin Contract BC-450 items . returned by Depots to'* M & O` f6r',re- g work, the 1958 season started with a relatively large back H in September 1958, a complete. review of ,the backlog was made and a' semi-monthly list of all items on work order for each customer':wae 7.- 7_77 ancies and established `a record control system which should' discre man p y enable faster turnaround time for items requiring, rework. In August-1.958; a complete inventory of M & 0 stores was conducted. The'inventbrj~ wag:, . split into- sections for, Customers A and B. Maximum and minimum supply.: levels were established on all items.. A close liaison was maintained with both Depots an d ?Del Rio through,: periodic visits. The contacts have eliminated many discrepancies before they developed into major problems. Hycon Spares.Coordinator; .M.r.., R. Keppler, at the request of the PE Corp. and FOG, made, several trips to Norwalk to assist in establishing a supply system at that location. In-plant, Stock Record Cards have been made covering all tooling on Contracts SC-21-54 and BC-200 to facilitate transfer to M & O. A review''.: and disposition report of all GFE for both contracts was made to insure proper control. A procedure was established for obtaining disposition of all scrap and obsolete materials on hand.

Tests were outlined for verification of suspected causes of degradation in quality, such as vibration, aircraft motion,, temperature changes, star- light and filter characteristics. 4. 1 All areas of possible improvement to the quality of the "B" take are being investigated such as the exclusion of much "stray light" through a series of baffles. Baffle tests to date indicate an improvement in the quality, mainly by increasing the contrast and by permitting easier recognition of detail. Filter tests are being planned with additional optical glass filters to determine if ground haze can be more satisfactorily penetrated than with just the present coatings. Tests to date in this area have been' ,. unsatisfactory owing to the effects 'of temperature, humidity and air movement on. the gelatin . type filters used on'the' tests,, these. being the only ones.. then available. 5. A special "B" Fault Book was assembled and,distributed to all parties, concerned.
