Progress Review Meeting, 7 and. 8 Feb 66
1. In accordance with the customer's request, a meeting was
held at the contractor's facility on 7 and, 8 Feb 66.
DISCUSSION
4. PAR 214, Roller Transport Processor (12-Inch) -
a. Progress toward a solution to the pinhole problem using
polyethylene covered Kralastic rollers was discussed. The bleach rack
with epoxy side plates and solid polyethylene rollers was inspected.
The presence of particles embedded in the rollers was noted,.
b. As soon as possible, polyethylene covered. rollers will be
fabricated, on PAR 214 for the inside positions of all racks. When
ready, these rollers will be installed. in the processor on site against
PAR 238.

5. PAR 215, Roller Transport Processor (24-Inch)
a. Samples of lead tab techniques checked out on our
paper Versamat were inspected. Two methods look promising enough
to test on the RT-24. We agreed to prepare samples for
to run through the machine on 15 Feb 66.
the RT-24 for the last several weeks with generally good results
by taping prints to each other to make a long strip. Sometimes
wide prints will mistrack enough to damage the edge.
c. The order handling method used is the same as that
for the tray line. A man picks up a single order from the print
room, feeds it into the RT-24, and waits for it to be processed.
An order may consist of one to thirty prints, usually of a single
size. agree that this is not
a very efficient way to use the RT-24. Studies by
indicate that the tray line is three times as fast as the RT-24
when this method is used..
d. It was suggested that the customer test for pin-
holing as soon as possible to determine whether they should re-
quest new rollers for the RT-24. A longer time will be required.
for fabrication of the long rollers since special stock will
be needed..
6. PAR 233, 6x to box Zoom Projection Lens
a. We described to the customer the content of the January
progress report, including a revision of the expected, system arrange-
ment, and the expectation that the system transmittance will be

b. The expected. transmittance is to be reviewed. with
more current glass data.
c. Guidance from the customer regarding the usefulness
of a system with such low transmittance was requested.
7. PAR 242A, Color Demonstration Material - The delay
in completion of PAR 242A because of mission activity was dis-
cussed.. It did not appear that this would cause the customer
serious trouble as long as we are able to deliver by 1 Apr 66.
8. PAR 243, Briefing Print Enlarger (Prototype)
a. For exposing Polycontrast paper, the customer will
accept an arrangement in which the lamphouse filters can be
easily changed. and three standard. PC (contrast control) filters
can be installed.. This arrangement is less flexible than the
previously discussed two-color sequential exposure system, but
development effort is not required to:
(1) Select suitable filters, and
(2) Test the sensitometry of Polycontrast paper with
the filters.
b. The use of PC filters will require engineering effort
only to:
(1) Adapt the BPE design, and
(2) Test the image quality of the sample lenses
with Polycontrast paper.
Such effort can be included as a revision to PAR 243 and does not
require authorization of development activity as a separate project.

c. The contractor made test prints of a
0
high-contrast test target at 1OX and. 40X. Exposures were
made as exposure series:
(1) On axis and at about 17? off axis at lOX, and
(2) On axis at 40X.
These prints were compared. and. will be compared further with simi-
lar prints made on the customer's 10-20-40X Enlarger.
d.. The contractor also made a focus series print at 40X
for a focus range of ?.0015 inch in .0005 inch steps to explore
the effect upon relative line densities in the three line groups.
The density difference within each group still looks like a
problem related. to the targets.
e. The contractor will submit as soon as possible a
revision, PAR 243A, which will include:
(1) The requested design changes and additional
items, and.
(2) A draft of the performance specification for
the prototype enlarger requested byl (A rough listing
of items for the performance specification was discussed at the
meeting.)
f. There is continuing interest in a proposal for
lenses to extend the magnification range upward to about 150X.
We have delayed. submitting a proposal until more complete tests
can be made of the two 40X to 60X lens samples. We now expect
to propose two lenses scaled. from the 40X to 60X black-and-white
design which will provide magnification capability for black-and.-
white enlargements only.
g. The content of the January progress report was
discussed..
