(I do not have the time to examine this very
critically, and therefore any opinion I might
have would not be very expert. I suggest
we leave it alone, inasmuch as it sounds simple

The system employs a high-resolution CRT in conjunction with a photomultiplier
as a flying spot scanner of a given photographic negative. High and low
frequency information in the resulting electrical signal are separately
processed (e.g., amplified, clipped, shaped, inverted) and then combined to
modulate one or more additional CRT's. The modulated light, modified by the
transmittance of the negative, produces an enhanced image on a final record-
ing emulsion.
The system should prove valuable for interpretation of reconnaissance photo-
graphs and other applications requiring sharpened photographic detail.
