Summary.
Prior to test running of the complete clean room systems Quality Control
inspection will be completed on the erection.
Area Preparation
All major work has been completed. Final finishing of floors, walls and
ceilings are outstanding. Packing of equipment in the group's temporary
quarters was started Monday, March 1, 1965, and the relocation was completed,
and work on the program re-commenced on Monday, March 8, 1965.

Research Program
25X1 A visit was paid to premises during the second week of February by
the customer representative to discuss contract requirements. As a result
of this visit, it was decided to issue an interim report on the research
program covering the progress made to mid-February. This interim report
covered in detail the content and progress made on all specific research
assignments.
After completion of the interim report and relocation of equipment and staff,
18 work was re-commenced on the following assignments.
25X1
25X1
1. Assignment The film type 4400 test samples were tested for
granularity. The mage Quality Meter was completed, calibrated and
used for conducting these tests. The Eastman Kodak data sheet shows that
film type 4400 has an R.M.S. granularity of .052, which equals 2.2 granularity.
The Eastman Kodak test sample was processed in D19 developer, at 68?F
for 8 minutes. A 24U aperture was used to read the Dnet = 1.0. The H. F.
Image Quality Meter formula is expressed as -

sample.
From the above results, it will be seen that when increasing the processing
temperature and decreasing the time, the granularity also increases. The
maximum difference from the control 68?F at 8 minutes to 118?F at 15 seconds
is 0. 30. Whether this difference is of consequence in photographic interpreta-
tion has not yet been assessed.
A discussion held with S.A. C. Headquarters personnel on TDY at =suggests
that the negative aerial film most commonly used by both Tactical Units and
S.A.C. is type 4401, with an Exposure Index of 64-Daylight. This film is

generally used for high-altitude reconnaissance flights. It is processed
by SAC to a gamma of 2. 2 to 2. 3 whereas TAC process to a gamma of
1.0. Developer 4DS at 75?F is used by both organizations.
No set processing method is apparent in the use of aerial duplicating film.
SAC uses 228R processed to a gamma of 1. 3., TAC uses type 5427 processed
to a gamma of 1. 0. Both organizations process these films in 16D at 70?F.
A further interesting opinion emerged, namely that the processing speed
available of 15 FPM for negative film, and 25 FPM for duplicating film, is
considered to be much too slow.
As a result of these discussions, an attempt will be made to obtain confirmation
on this information. If this is obtained, the next film type to be run through
the elevated temperature tests will be 4401 rather than type 4404 as stated
in the interim report.
Tests to obtain the coefficient of friction of film and increasing velocities,
were re-commenced. A suitable body of still water was located in
25X1
and permission obtained to use it for this purpose. All
conditions here appeared satisfactory except for returning the film across
the lake after a tow run. A pulley line is in course of erection which will
enable the tests to be more rapidly concluded.
25Xf 3. As si nment
To enable a wider range of tests to be carried out, the bearing drive mechanism
was removed for replacement with a higher H.P. drive motor. To accurately
plot the pressure distribution on the film, a plastic dome with a clearance
between the bearing surface, equivalent to a film cushion approximately 1/8
inches was formed and holes drilled and tapped at 1 inch centers over the
180 degrees of the bend radius. A pressure probe connected to an inclined
manometer (Ref. Interim Report (Fig. 2-3a Sect. will be used to 25X1
obtain the readings. The objective of this test series will be to determine
the areas over which fluctuating pressures are generated, with the objective
of eliminating these and thereby stabilizing the film path over the bearing.
With the fitment of a higher H.P. drive motor, tests will be run on a film
carrying loads beyond the 11 pounds carried previously, and amperage readings

taken to determine a horse power curve. In the future, various modifications
will be made to the pump to ascertain if more fluid can be moved through the
bearing at lower R. P . M. by the addition of impellers, "cork screw" blades
and etc. Tests will also be conducted with narrow width films, 35mm, 70mm
5 inch, 7 1/2 inches, etc. to determine the requirements for these, i.e. if
any format changes such as adjustable edge guides or blanking off covers
are required.
4. Work Program for March.
Work on the above programs will continue as specified. In addition, it is
hoped to also continue work on the inter-tank air bearing described under
Assignment Sect. 2. 1. of the Interim Report.
