The mechanical de:s1Ln of the prototype *tables is approxba ately 80-
percent completer. Detailed d:c~w: -;s of the film drive assembly,,

Approximately 80 percent of the its ins to be purchased, including
parts for the tilt and rotation mechanisms 3 motors and controls
for the film drive assemulya9 and jewels for the microscope transport
(pantograph) system, have been specified and ordered. This task Is
now scheduled for completion by y 14ovember0
All known major problems of an en l.necririg nature have been resolved0
The cover glass which will be laminated to the kinescopes to achieve
flat-facing has been receiv edo The mold Tor costing i ,e HTV-6l
silastic on the kinescopes has been completed. Fabrication of the
flat-face kinescopes, beginning with test runs on available samples,
is scheduled for completion during; the next monthly period,

Huge work loads on company and out.?.ide machine shops have resulted in
unanticipated delays in the manufac-;,urIng of parts for the prototype
tables. Hence the'final design of the main support struct4re, one of
several critical items, is being influenced by expected delivery
dates associated with possible fabrication processes,

l Unanticipated delays In the n.snufacturing of critical
parts, resulting from the huge work loa(Is on compL,ny and outside
machine shops? have 'affected the sbhadiule of delivery of the prototype
tables,, The revised schedule now indicates. delivery of Prototype I
and Prototype II on 17 becerrsber i96y and. '14 January 1966, respectively,
20 Checkout of the prototype electronic systems revealed a
need for minor modifica tion0 Hence circuits have been added to provide
clamping and blanking (of the kinescope electron beam); their checkout
will be performed durlnZ the next monthly peviodx,
