A. General
The progress report is seperated into several sections, the first of which is a percentage
summary of the schedule. This is followed by a statement on the progress and remarks on
work completed, work in process and planned work effort. Finally a table showing each
task and the percentage complete is supplied.

As indicated in the project completion percentages, the project is progressing according
to schedule with the exception of two tasks identified in the listing in Table I. It is
expected that these will be completed in January.
C. Summary of Progress
1. General
The major effort has been directed toward specifying the components having long delivery
times; such as motors, large machined parts, special heat sinks, instrumentation, etc.

2. Coordiratograpls
Ile coordinatograph structure has been designed, detailed and released for
manufacture. ` Hce the delivery time for this assembly is approximately 16
weeks, it is planned to prepare a test riq to check the power controls. The
drive motors and some of the ri st apparatus will be used in the final assembly as
well. T;.e motors have been ordered and the delivery of one is expected by
January 2i. In the operation of this test apparatus, cold air from outside the
i;uildinq will be used for t_axtractinq heat from the motors and control console.
Measurer;,ents will be made on air temperature and volume required to confirm
prediction,-.
3. Power Control
the motor pow-r control circuitry except for the power supply portion, has
been designed and some of the parts have already been received. All the
copper heat sinks and the frames that hold them have arrived.
4. tyl ectronic Control
The data handl ing logic has been nearly completed; the compattTiottirerface
amplifiers are being designed. More communication with th engineers
will be necessar-, o determine the best way to terminate the 75 foot long
computer lines supplied to the plotter room.
5. Meeting
A meetinr3 was held at the installation, December 10, 1963, to discuss the
air cooling and vacuum system requirements.
It was decided that the existing
coot air supply in the Luilding was insufficient and that an auxilliary conditioner
would be installed to produce about 600 cfr;t of 420F air. A seperate vacuum
system to supply about 80cfrm at I psi vacuum would also be installed.
Planned Work i f fort
As the components arrive, the plan it. to incorpor
