Additional problem areas not anticipated in the initial
proposal occurred in the following technical areas: 1) due to the
complexity of the liquid gate it was necessary to design a relay
condenser system; 2) the capstan design system originally proposed
did not work satisfactorily and a different capstan system had to be
designed; 3) a refrigeration cooling system was originally proposed
but this was later changed to a water cooled system after many of
the components had been purchased and considerable design effort was
expended; 4) after fabrication of the machine an excessive amount of
vibration was present in the projected image and the cabinet had to
be stiffened to eliminate the vibration; and 5) an azmuth indicator,
which was not in the original proposal, was required to increase the
versatility of the equipment.

clamping the film tightly to its periphery has been a common practice in
applications having similar requirements, such a design was tried first.
Several variants on that design were tested, but none of these performed
as satisfactorily as, or was as simple and inexpensive as a plain rubber
covered design. The problem has now been solved by the use of a rubber
covered capstan, but'the trial models of differential pressure capstans
consumed significant amounts of time and were not considered in our
original costlestimate.
During fabrication.of the equipment, it developed that the structure had
inherent instabilities which led to image motion on the screen whenever
the machine fame was lightly touched or whenever there was source of
vibration neatby. Correction of this required the addition of heavy
stiffening members to the frame and consumed substantial manufacturing,
time.
The illumination system for 48X magnification is designed to reduce the
size of the light spot incident upon the film so as to illuminate only that
area which is seen by the 48X lens. Thus, all of the light from the lamp
is directed through that area and thence to the screen, The advantage of
that lies in being able to maintain the highest practical illumination level
on the screen as well as in maintaining good design practice. The disadvan-
tage is a serious one: The concentrated light means also that the heat
incident on-the film also is concentrated. Removal of that heat therefor
requires a considerably more sophisticated approach to cooling than at e
bottom range of magnification. Although the optical system incorporates fil-
tration of infra-red and ultra violet ends of the spectrum prior to the light
reaching the, film, some concern was felt over the efficiency of filters and
several attempts have been made to optimize the absorption of heat prior to
the film.IllThese attempts have been over and above the criteria for the
original optical design and thus cost has been increased beyond what was
expected.

magn fications . The design of these lenses and the mounting design as
well as the installation was not anticipated in the original bid .
Duri g operation of the system after it had been assembled, and while it was
bein tested, the optical system was thoroughly adjusted to optimize it. The
syst m logged many, hours of operation with no casualties. However, for an
unde ermined reason, after a considerable operating time one lens in the
lamp house cracked. It had not been mishandled. Cracking may have been
caul 'd by an unusual combination of operating conditions. Replacement of
that ens is'necessary before the machine will function satisfactorily. This
was of accounted for in the original bid.
After observing operation of the machine during testing, it became apparent
that several refinements were necessary. A light shield was required around
the rear of the machine to reduce light spillage as much as possible. The
release of freon vapor from the tank containing the supply reel when reels
were changed is objectionable. Therefore, a ventilating system had to be

tank was opened. Manufacture and installation of these devices was not
considered in the original bid.
f
Finally, during operation of the equipment in test it was found that residual
material frequently left on the surface of the film from normal processing
operations was dissolved by the freon. As the film was reeled back onto the
supply spool preparatory to removing it from the machine, droplets of freon
would adhere to the film and in drying, leave a detectable residue. To avoid
this it was decided to incorporate air jets in the tank holding the supply reel
to s rip off any freon from the surface of the film. This became a requirement
afte design and fabrication of the entire system had been completed, and
ther :fore constituted a reason for the expenditure of additional funds.

Attention: Contracting Officer
STATINTL Reference: Contract
In refer nce to the above subject contract, the contractor has recently com-
pleted he estimates for cost at completion on the above contract and will
require funds in addition to those presently committed under the contract.
STATINTL The co tractor estimates that an additional ill be required to
comple a the 'performance within the scope o wor c included in this contract.
Cost b eakdown in substantiation of this amount is forwarded herewith as
Enclosure 1.
In revi ,wing the cost at completion, it should be noted that there are several
major ctors contributing to this requirement for additional funds. The most
outsta ding of these is the cost of the liquid gate system.
STATINTL The ba sic proposal byssumed transfer of extensive design information from
a corp gyration which h e earlier work on a liquid gate. It had been assumed
that th? gate, which had been tested by the other corporation, would require onl
adapts a changes to the design in order to fit it to the system being made by

In act al fact, there were no detail drawings or assembly drawings available i

transp rent sides and illuminating it by a high intensity lamp. There was no pro-
vv isio ih the gate for moving the film, for driving it with a capstan, or for drying.
STATINTL Those problems ad to solve in the design of the equipment.' To rform to the
scope of work., ad to build a separate experimental gate. The pr blems

Associated with the gate and related mechanical systems are well over 100
detailed drawings and sketches. Those were necessary in order to produce
the parts for the experiment. For the final machine further engineering and
drafting was required in order to adapt the experimental equipment, usgd to
demonstrate the first of the gates a o a functioning piece of ope ational
hardware. Merely the production o any drawings can be seen as a
major factor in the difference between the work iad anticipated performing
and that which we actually had to perform,
The sec ?lnd area on which a considerable amount of time was spent was the
illumination optics. Originally, we felt that the requirement for producing
high illumination levels on the screen would be relatively easy to attain with
esign ad become severely complicated, The original concept of the machine
s prop lad
assumed a greater amount of space available within the machine
tructur for placement of the lamp. Final selection of a lamp and design of
lamp ouse resulted in a structure which was too large to incorporate within
a conve tional optical design, and our proposal reflected this point of view.
Howeve , as the machine began to take shape mechanically, and since a
esign bjective was to minimize floor space, we found that the optical
under way for some time. This, in turn, reflected back into the mechanical
design which also had been under way for some time. The result was costly
insofar as anticipated time and labor hours were concerned because a signifi-
cant amount of the mechanical design had to be altered, and due to changes in
the optical design, this occurred at least twice. The final system provided an
image f the arc at a point intermediate on the optical axis between the lamp
and th film gate. In order to do this a number of lenses were required and their
ins,erti n into, and removal from the optical path was accomplished only with
considerable complication of the electronics which controlled lens changes.
Of course, the mechanism required to actuate the several turrets containing
the change lenses was quite complicated and demanded space where heretofore
there had been no need for space. This, in turn, forced re-location of other
components of the system including a winding drum for hosev and cables
eed fo that type of design became apparent after the optical design had been

and thus a Lain of changes was introduced which had a substantial effect
on schedules and cost.
As a part of the freon cooling system, we originally designed a liquid-to-air
heat exchanger since the required film temperature had to be kept about equal
to room temperature. For the freon to cool it, the freon then had to be educed
below room temperature to guarantee that the heat would flow from the film to
the freon. The only possible way of maintaining freon inlet temperature below
ambient involved using a refrigerating system. Our initial design, therefore,
employed a refrigeration system and our design work made room for this system
within the body of the equipment. That absorbed considerable time and effort.
Subsequently, it was determined that the refrigeration system could b placed
externally in a separate utilities package. Because of crowding withi the
machine body resulting in the need for an optical relay system which occurred
well into the design, the removal of the refrigerating system to an outside
utilities package was most welcome. Nevertheless, the change did consume
time ant did therefore cost additional money. At a still later stage in the
design cooled water was made available at the installation site. Since that
made possible the elimination of the refrigerating system and a simplification
both as regards the number of packages which constituted the machine as well
as in th fluid circuitry, that was the final concept adopted. It is apparent,
therefor, that in achieving the design goals for the equipment, the pertinent
ones w re compactness, reliability and minimum complexity. To achieve these
we wer forced to go through what amounted to three separate approaches to a
single -roblem.
In the rea of the capstan, our original design employed a differential liquid
pressu capstan. That capstan was designed and built to be incorporated in
the ex erimental model prior to its adaptation for the final machine. Since
measur rnent of distance along the length of the film was to be accomplished
STATINTL by counting the number of revolutions of that capstan elt that capstan
design was basic to machine performance. We also e at any' design
technique that could be used should be employed to guarantee minimum likelihood
of slippage between capstan and film. Therefore, since the use of a capstan

clamp Ong the film tightly to its periphery has been a common practice in
applications having similar requirements, such a design was tried first.
Several variants on that design were tested, but none of these performed
satisfactorily as, or was as simple and inexpensive as a plain rubber
covered design. The problem has now been solved by the use of arubber

ma~nifdcations . The design of these lenses and the mounting design, as
we 1 as the installation was not anticipated in the original bid.
During operation of the system after it had been assembled, and whil it was
being tested, the optical system was thoroughly adjusted to optimize . The
system logged many, hours of operation with no casualties. . However, or an
undetermined reason, after a considerable operating time one lens in t
lamp house cracked. It had not been mishandled. Cracking may have leen
cased by an unusual combination of operating conditions. Replaceme t of
th t lens is necessary before the machine will function satisfactorily. This
was not accounted for in the original bid.
After observing operation of the machine during testing, it became apparent
th* several refinements were necessary. A light shield was require around
the rear of the machine to reduce light spillage as much as possible. The
release of freon vapor from the tank containing the supply reel wb-nn feels
wee changed is objectionable. Therefore, a ventilating system ad to be
ad Ted above the tank which could be brought into operation the 4ment the
to k was opened. Manufacture and installation of these devices was not
considered in the original bid.
Finally, during operation of the equipment in test it was found that residual
material frequently left on the surface of the film from normal processing
operations was dissolved by the freon. As the film was reeled back onto the
supply spool preparatory to removing it from the machine, droplets of freon
would adhere to the film and in drying, leave a detectable residue. To avoid
this it was 1ecided to incorporate air jets in the tank holding the supply reel
to strip off ny freon from the surface of the film. This became a requirement
after design and fabrication of the entire system had been completed, and
therefore constituted a reason for the expenditure of additional funds.
Indications f this requirement for additional funds were anticipated earlier.
However, dde to the complex nature of the equipment it has been only recently
that we have been able to provide a firm estimate of the cost to complete. It

An inspection visit was made on the 17th and 18th of September 1964
to make a preliminary evaluation. A number of conditions existed which
require additional work before the machine is acceptable. All but two of the
deficiences were minor and are basicly a matter of adjustment or component
replacement. The two major areas of concern are Vibration and Film drying
venting. The vibration is due to poor structual rigidity ands reinforcing
the cabinet. At present, the freon is not being completel removed when the
film is rewound at high speed, nor is their a toxic vent. ls investigating
the best way to solve the freon dissipation problem from o the evaporation
and venting aspects.
In addition they have already overrun the contract price and are
preparing a report for the contracting office. It is estimated that the
overrun will be approximately

Dear John:
STATINTL
In order to set forth the problems we have had with
STATINTL in an orderly manner, I asked o make a chronological
summary of the events which took place during the life of that Purchase
Order. I am appending that to this letter in outline form. However,
let me preface it with these comments.
I have made several visits to their plant. During the time elapsed be-
tween the first and last visit, there has been a very significant change
in the number of people in their organization and in the apparent amount
of business passing through the plant. Having mentioned this while
STATINTL talking to ho is one of the owners, he acknowledged that
they are seeking to re- ocate in less costly quarters, in a move which I
can only interpret as retrenching. While he maintains firmly that they
are not in financial trouble, nevertheless there are very strong indications
that their volume of business has dropped a great deal.
We have no further objective evidence of their competence as a supplier
other than what Dave has provided in his summary. We have included
them on the list of bidders for several jobs and they have come in in
every case the low bidder by a considerable margin. We cannot honestly
claim that such low bidding is a symptom of incompetence. At its worst,
all I can see is that they are hungry; possibly they bid low because of
reduced costs. Certainly their administrative services have been reduced
to practically nil. That latter argument is partially offset by their very
large plant facility which, I would expect, coupled with their low direct
labor input, would be reflected in a high overhead rate and therefore high
costs,
STATINTL

In summary, we are going to shy away from using them as a vendor in the
future by reason of poor performance. The difficulty they appeared to have
with lens #4 this last time around indicates little or no improvement over
the past. Our experience with other vendors has so far been good, with
Ithe best and with adequate,
certainly stands in my mind further clown the scale than t he other two.

Dear John:
Last Friday, 1 May 1964, we received the last lens for our condensing
system. We are now in the process of preliminary alignment of the optical
systems.
Light has been passed through portions of the system, and we are now
correcting what appear to be minor mechanical interferences in the light
path. Actual optical adjustment and assessment of the system optical
quality will come after that.
As mentioned on your last trip, control placement will be as you saw the
front panel. On the left hand side of the screen will be the end of film
warning light, and below it the lamp current ammeter. On the right of the
screen will be two lights; the top one warns of low freon level in the tray,
and the bottom of abnormal conditions such as no air or overheating lamp-
house. Of course, these conditions will automatically turn off the lamp to
prevent damage.
AC power distribution and controls, logic and interlocking chassis will be
on the left hand door, while the sa-vo bins and power supplies will be on
the right hand door.
In order to get your machine to you as quickly as possible, we are planning
to fly it back East.
If problems arise, we will be in touch with you as necessary. We look
forward to your next visit.
Very truly yours,

Dear john:
The machine is rapidly taking shape. We have checked the
motions of the three lens turrets, as well as run the lamp
housing with water as coolant.
Confirming telephone conversations, we will supply the
Reader with the Lamp Power Supply in its own package. thing else will be on the main frame. During installation, the
Every-
freon pump will be dropped to the floor, to isolate any os
vibrations. It will still be within the machine, however. sible
Cooling of the lamp, as well as of the freon, will be done
with water you will supply. No problems, such as algae,
are anticipated, as the water does not flow through the light
path.
Outlook looks good for delivery date of May 15, 1964. We
look forward to your next visit.
Very truly yours,

Dear John:
February , 9964
The experimental phase of this job is finished, and hardware is taking
shape.
Results of the experiment indicated the following changes, which are
being incorporated in the prototype machine:
The pressure differential capstan scheme has been discarded. It was
found that no capstan (pressure differential or plain roller, or pressure
roller) could drive film at the required slew rate of 250 ft/min (50 in/sec) .
The freon, at high capstan speeds, acted as a lubricant so that the film
would slip. But at measuring speeds (1 "/sec.) even a simple capstan
would drive the film without slipping.
Accordingly, a simple capstan is to drive the film at measuring speeds, and
for the scan mode of operation. When slewing, the capstan will free wheel
and the reel motors will provide driving power.
To further insure accuracy, a metering roller, similar to the capstan, will
be used to drive the encoder for actual measurement. Since less
force is required to r ve e encoder from the film than to drive the film
from the capstan, accuracy (slippage) will be independent of film driving.
Speed reduction between drive motors and capstan will be about 50 to 1,
giving much greater control and smoothness at low speeds. Because of
the great speed range available, programmed speed ranges with magnifica-
tion changes do not seem necessary, and will be eliminated in the interest
of simplicity.
Condensing lenses have been ordered with delivery in early April promised.
The quartz cold mirror reflector for the Lamp House will also be delivered
in early to middle April. Our delivery depends upon these suppliers.

Because the focus control may be needed for fine adjustment during measur-
ing at higher power, it should be on the left of the console. The operator's
right hand would be manipulating the joystick, leaving his left free for
focussing. A sketch showing our present thinking on control placement is
enclosed. Note that only operating controls are accessible. Start and
stop switches will be mounted on the side of the machine.
A slight problem was found in thel (counters. I oltages were
not as required. This seems to be a p er supply pro em which we can
fix here with uidance. We are in contact with Iland will make
the simple c anges ey suggested.
STATINTL Because I jounter plugs for ;so:,: power were wired differently, one
STATINTL electronics unit was damaged. t e logics seemed to give erroneous
signals. Further, the bearings on the model 35 were binding. For these
STATINTL reasons the Electronics and Encoders were returned to the factory
for repair an reins ction.
During the experiment, noise from the servo system got into the counting
system, giving erroneous results. This points out a need for proper
shielding in the finished machine, which will be accomplished.

January 17, 1964
Dear John;
During January we concluded that the vacuum capstan was inadequate
as designed. Although the counters have not yet arrived, our tests
showed that there was slippage between film and capstan.
Part of the trouble was traced to deficiencies in the capstan, namely
leakage of freon from the high pressure side. Other causes of trouble
seem to be excessive friction on the low pressure side and through the
film gate itself. This whole problem is being looked at, and a new ap-
proach to the capstan will be tried.
The new approach will use a solid capstan (of hard rubber), and the
film will be held to the capstan by freon under pressure from a fitted
shoe. Advantages include more positive drive (higher pressure avail-
able) and considerable savings in manufacturing costs.
Designs for subsystems are well along. The new film tray castings are
ready for machining. Drives for X and Y are being detailed. Projection
turret design is in progress. The mockup is being updated. The rotat-
ing joystick assembly is being designed.
Most critical item at this time is the condensing system design, which
STATINTL is not yet complete, iscovered an error, and had to back
up considerably. everal bids on the former design, and
best possible delivery was eight weeks, with most vendors quoting
twelve weeks ARO. If we get final information immediately, we will
still be about a month behind schedule.

We are contacting lat your suggestion in hopes of
managing faster delivery on the lenses. Final design is being held
up by this delay in the condensing system. Condensing lens turrets,
mount for doughnut, lamp housing design, frame, etc. , are all de-

to it will be forwarded under separate cover.

December 2, 1963
Dear John:
Our progress this month has been considerable. We have designed
the granite doughnut and film tray to rotate on a large ball bearing.
The cables to the film tray, as well as the air and freon hoses will
travel up through the hole in the granite, just outside the light path.
This will allow the table to rotate without undue stretching or reeling
of hoses and cables.
We have decided to use independent fluid systems for the gate and for
lamp cooling. In this way a much smaller refrigeration system can be
used for the film gate coolant. Since lamp temperatures need not be
as low as the film, a direct fluid-to-air heat transfer device will be
used.
It should be noted that roughly 25,000 BTU/hr will be dumped from the
reader. We will provide a connection such that the warm air can be
discharged either directly into the room or ducted to an exhaust line.
We plan to use a double action air driven pump for the film gate freon
system. A pump of this type has been run to prove feasibility. Bellofram
rolling diaphrams will be used to provide long life, and a completely
sealed freon system. Noise, vibration and heat have been markedly
reduced.
STATINTL We have received from he second rough condenser system
diagrams. They are not what we had hoped for, as the lens elements
which must be changed are still up inside the doughnut bearing. This
means a more complicated condenser changing mechanism, but it is still
reasonable. :Final information won't be in hand for two weeks, so we
cannot order lenses until then. This puts a premium on rapid delivery
of lenses .

Since we can get most of the freon off the film with rollers, perhaps
the rewinding will have to be done with the low pressure lid open,
evaporating the remaining coolant from the film. In this case there
would be some loss of freon to the air, but the film would be dry as
removed from the reader.
Our real hope is that the rollers will remove enough freon to leave the
film in a satisfactory condition when used in the closed system. First
tests look promising, and we should know by next week if this is to
be the final solution.
Finally, we come to the projection screen. Polacoat will coat a glass
plate which we supply with reticle engraved or silk screened. Alternately
a reticle could be scribed or drawn with pencil on a polacoat screen.
I us willing to supply a 30" x 30" screen. They
would stretch a horizontal and a vertical wire, .0025" each, from top to
bottom and side to side, and imbed them in the plastic material between
the two glass sheets. Since they have never made a screen larger than
22" x 22" , they would build this first screen for on a 30-day
trial, money back if not satisfied. We plan to order one screen from
each supplier.
Would you please indicate the exact configuration desired for your
reticle. We'll need this to order the screens by 16 December.

Dear John:
Here is the PERT/Time Analysis for this month.
During the month we have decided to use the Olamp, as outlined
in a letter to you. We have also decided against prisms for rotation,
and will use the brute force approach of actually turning the film tray.
We have been working closely with nd he is to complete
his work by 1 November 1963. Also, appears easible to provide the
viewing screen with built-in reticle. The PERT chart is revised to show
these changes.
The film tray experiment is progressing. We are working on elimination
of flutter of the film in the gate. We are also trying to determine the
factors controlling the plane of the film in the gate.
To eliminate the noise and vibration of the Freon pump, we are investi-
gating using air pressure to pump the Freon through the system. Using
al iaphram, the approach seems quite feasible, since you are
providing air for bearings already.
We are now in the process of tying down the rotary table details. The
possible approaches include hoses, or a slip ring arrangement for bring-
ing the Freon in and out, and also for the air requirements. Because of
lead time, this path is now critical.
The air knife looks like it might become a tremendous problem. We are
building an experimental knife to strip Freon from the film in a closed
circuit push, pull arrangement. Getting Freon liquid out of the ail is a
large order. Open systems would of course loose too much Freon.

Dear John:
Here is the Pert/Time Analysis for this month.
The Experimental Tray is progressing very nicely, and we should be
ready to run on 23 September. This will answer questions such as:
will the film stay flat; what pressure range is suitable; what the flow rate
through the gate is vs. pressure and platen spacing; what happens in
the gate when slewing; what the performance is of the film drive system;
and pave the way for final design.
Next Monday, September 23, we will have the answer to two basic
questions: which lamp we will use and whether we can use Pechan
prisms for rotation of the image to avoid rotating film gate. I am there-
fore not changing the PERT chart for now, but expect the next report
may contain a revised Chart based on the above information.
Chas been retained for
the optical design of the instrumen ill complete the
design by 1 November 1963, with preliminary information starting
23 September 1963. We are holding up design of the rotating table
for a week. If the resolution using a rotating prism is satisfactory,
we would probably go that route with the following mechanical advantages
accruing: no need to lift the tray for rotation; no coupling needed to
rotate joystick in synchronism with table; no air bearings on table for
rotation, etc.
ill also specify a lamp by next week, so that we can start on
lamp ousing design, etc. By having outside help, we can do parallel
designs in house of lens turrets, condenser switching mechanisms, etc.,
which will be reflected in next month's PERT Chart.
Very truly yours,

Subject: PROGRESS REPORT - Variable Width Film Reader
Dear John:
The present status of our work on the Variable Width Film Reader is as
follows:
1. An experiment has been designed to check the liquid film gate for the
following: satisfactory metering of film, dynamic characteristics of
film in gate, slewing of large film reels, parameters of the air knife,
operation of the servo systems, convenience of loading and operation,
and operating characteristics of the liquid circuits. Schedules have
been prepared for this portion of the work in detail, layouts and block
diagrams have been made for the mechanical, electronic, piping and
instrumentation sections. Release of parts for fabrication will com-
mence Friday, 9 August. Electronic parts are already being purchased
for the film drives.
2. The optical layout is in process. A large proportion of the work depends
upon defining a light source. The physical dimensions as well as the
basic design of the light source will affect the machine structure.
Consequentl Ihas been contacted several times re-
garding their hone contact was shortly after our
last communication with you on Thursday, 8 August. At that time,
ndicated he was still bothered by the characteristics
01 e i g TIME resulting, he thought, from an uneven surface on the
reflector. It is planned that he will call us no later than Monday,
12 August, to inform us of the earliest time when two light sources will be
in operation for us to observe. I requested that we be able to see them
prior to your visit here. This will allow us to discuss with you the very
real possibility that a conventional optical system will be required.

3. Layout of the remainder of the machine is proceeding more slowly than
the film gate. Of necessity, we are checking interferences at various
points on the equipment, and this has resulted in several layouts to
define the limits of action of the lens turret, etc. This portion of the
job is not being accelerated at the same rate as the gate. However,
it should be noted that the gate will be complete and operating
15 September. Prior to that time, most of the engineering on it will
have been completed and the personnel working on that can be diverted
to the remainder of the machine.
We do not presently foresee any difficulty in making our originally scheduled
delivery of the machine.
