1. CAMERA B-23 WAS USED IN MISSION 8125 FLOWN ON 29 SEPTEMBER
1966. PROCESSING WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY BARKSDALE AFB.
2. ORIGINAL NEGATIVE:
A. THE DENSITY OF THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE IS HEAVIER THAN
NORMAL INDICATING POSSIBLE OVER-EXPOSURE. THE RESOLUTION OF THIS
MISSION IS COMPARABLE TO 8124. THIS MISSION ALSO HAD THE SAME
FOCUS PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE WRITE-UP FOR 8124.

MISSION FROM HEAD TO TAIL. THERE WERE MANY MINUS DENSITY DOTS IN
THE FIRST FRAME ONLY. A MYLAR SPLICE WAS NOTED BETWEEN FRAMES
0290-0291. A MANUFACTURING SPLICE IS LOCATED IN FRAME 1400. IT IS
ACCOMPANIED BY ASSOCIATED FOG AND THERE IS AN IMPRINT OF THE SPLICE
ON FRAME 1402.
C. 9L SIDE: THERE ARE MANY FOGGED STREAKS IN FRAME 0002
BUT THIS IS PROBABLY CAUSED BY CAMERA SET TIME. EDGE STATIC WAS
ONLY NOTED ON THE OUTBOARD EDGE FROM HEAD TO TAIL. ROLLER CHATTER

WAS INTERMITTENTLY PRESENT JUST INSIDE THE FORMAT ALONG THE OUT-
BOARD EDGE THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. A MANUFACTURING SPLICE IS LOCATED
IN FRAME 0392.
D. BOTH SIDES: ROLLER CHATTER IS PRESENT ON THE INBOARD
EDGE FROM HEAD TO TAIL. IN SEVERAL VERTICAL FRAMES ON BOTH SIDES

EVIDENCE OF THIS IN THE CLEAR BORDER AREA. IT IS PROBABLY CAUSED
BY EITHER A REFLECTION IN THE WINDOW OR AN INTERNAL CAMERA REFLECTION.
THIS SAME ANOMALY HAS BEEN REPORTED PREVIOUSLY. THE LAST TITLED
FRAME OF THE MISSION IS 2384.
3. POSITIVE:
A. PI SUITABILITY WAS FAIR TO GOOD.
