TYPE II SYST1EM
CONTRACT 0-TM-483
Subject: Use of UTB (SO-380)
Reference: In-House Investigation
With the development of UTB material the capability of
the Type II configuration to handle this material has been investigated.
The basic Type II package film transport system will
handle UTB material satisfactorily. However, the thinner base material
does present the following problems:
1. If weight of the film rolls change from 63 pounds/roll
? 5 pounds, then the stabilizer knuckle must be redesigned to relocate
the CG of the configuration.
2. For full rolls of UTB (8100 ft. max.) the supply
spindle must be redesigned to provide constant tension.
3. The focus position will change by 0.001 inch which will
require a readjustment of the auto focus grid assembly.
UTB can be handled in the Type II system but will
necessitate the above changes which may be considered major.
As the present thin base material load provides package
operating time in excess of the planned mission photo time, it is
recommended that we do not make the changes required to handle UTB material.
