1. The Office of Communications is sponsoring the development of
an automatic agent set, AS-3, and has requirements for the design and
development of two AC power supplies for this equipment designated
AP-3. and PS-10.
2. Proposals for these equipments, in accordance with Specification
No. 60-A-1116-A, were requested from three contractors. One contractor
did not elect to submit a proposal and of the, two contractors who sub-
mitted proposals, 50X1
has been Chosen. The proposal has been reviewed by our Engineering 50X1
Staff and is considered acceptable as amended by Attachment A. These
amendments have been discussed with and they are acceptable to 50X1
the contractor.
3. Accordingly, it is requested that a contract be negotiated
with in accordance with their proposal, 50X1
as amended by Attachment A, and Specification No. 60.A-1116-A. For
warded for this purpose is Requisition No. NEB 60.625 indicating that
the allotment to be Charged for this purpose is 0179-0010-0000. Funds
in the amount of $10,430.00 have been encuMbered for this program. The
AP-3 and P3-10 equipments, and reports pertaining thereto, are UNCLASSI-
FIED; however, the association of the equipment and the contract with
the Agency is Classified SECRET. The -project engineer for this program
is 50X1-

ThLa proposal should be Changed to reads
We propose that thePower supplies be built vith two
output*, as follovat
Output A: 42 volts, 7 Amps max., unregulated. With no output-
load, the output voltage 10111 be eppremimatelY +17 -
volts. When a 7 amp. lead is drawn, the voltage will
be epproximately +12 volts. There will be no regOla-
tion against input line voltage Changes Mipple will
be apprOmimately 10% at full load when a CO cps
input voltage is used and ebout 1.9% rem at fUll lead
when a 400 cps input voltage is used.
Output B: +12 volts, 2 amps. max., regulated against line and
load changes. For +10% input line voltage Changes.
the output will Change no more than +2%. For load
changes of no lead to full 2 amp. led, the output
voltage will change no more than 3%. Bi,Ple at full
load will be about 1% rms.
This output arrangement is proposed because ef the evident re-
quirement for additional regulated current for sensitive circuit
elements, such as tub* filaments, Allah could possibly be damaged by
higher voltage at the instant of connection. It should be sePhasitsd
that the unregulated output is at +17 volts only when there is ne load
at ell on it. /he instant the 7 ampere load is switeheit en, the volt-
age will drop to the 12 volt level. The second deviation Inver requests
is the limiting of the maximum charging, current for battery Charging to
4 amperes instead of 8 ampere*. this current is the wavlignimi which the
supply can deliver continuously. The higher currents obtainable in
the other mode of operation are yeallible only because of the 54 dot/
cycle.
The proposed technical approach is very similar to that Wen in
our letter proposal of 13 April 1,960, except that the Zener diode is
used to provtile 2 empires of regulated current instead of 1. eepere.
We feel that this amount of regulated current can be delivered within
the given package size for the. 06.3. The propeaet blood: diagram is
the some as given in our VIAtiOUS ? We feel that this eppreaCh
irill satisfy all the requirements. of the speeification? with the OYU,-
time regusated above.
