Gentlemen:
This is to confirm the presentation given to members of your
organization on December 17, 1965. The conclusion drawn from
the presentation was that II requires an additional
to complete both printers. Attachment 2) This fi ure is
broken down into additional cost and addi-.1 1 tional fee. In support of the request, 0 has duplicated
with small mathematical corrections, the charts presented on
December 17 ,1965 and has enclosed them as Attachments 1, 2,
3, and 5.
A brief summary and explanation of each attachment should be
helpful in understanding our request for additional funds.

Attachment No. 2 - Proqram Summary
The basis of this chart is the division of the Contract's
Total Estimated-Cost, into the figures as listed:
Printer I - I lan rinter II - 0 Since the
contract di not specify the division of the Estimated Cost
by printer, these figures were provided by your technical
monitor, John R., during our December 7, 1965 meeting.
Further breakdowns and explanations of Change In Scope, Overrun,
and the Additional Fee figures are listed in Attachments 3-6.

The percentages of overrun were calculated by dividing the
overrun figures by the Contract Estimated Costs plus the
Change In Scope Costs.

Attachment 4 - Printer I - Additional Fee Details
The Spare Platens, Frame Edge Sensor and the deletion of RFI
have been detailed in the explanation of Attachment I above.
However, I would like to review once again our reasons for
claiming that the Frame Edge Sensor problem is a legitimate
Change in Scope.
The minimum or maximum density to which the Frame Edge Sensor
is required to respond is not specified by the contract's
specification or by the Approved Design Plan. In fact, the
Approved Design Plan, page 50, the last sentence of Paragraph
3.6 states 'Frames skipped for low contrast or presence of
splices will be printed manually.'' Therefore, due to the
lack of a specific description, is required only to
fabricate to minimum standards. However, as mentioned in
previous correspon ed nce, did not assume this attitude,
rather we requested on numerous occasions that typical film
be provided. When film was not provided, Il and our sub-
contractor developed a film sensor, which would sense frames.
This frame sensing device was unacceptable to your organiza-
tion. 0 was then informed that the frame sensor must be
capable of differentiating film frames with only a .2 differ-
ential in density. This is clearly a Change In Scope.
proceeded to develop the frame sensor. However, when
the new frame sensor into the machine, it
was discovered that our subcontractor's transport system
design for the original frame sensor was not compatible.
Therefore, II believes that request
for an Increase In Scope is also a legitimate request. Attach-
ment 7 details the cost relating to the transport modification.
The notation relating to the overrun is basically self-
explanatory. The was expended in the area of addi-
tional research and iaison in support of

underestimated the drafting effort.
It is our belief that the ten attachments will clarify and give
ample support to our request for additional funds. It is also
requested that the Stop Work Order on Printer II which has been
in existence for 90 days, be lifted to permit continuation and
completion of the contract.
Another reminder is that 0 has still not received a reply
to our letter Ref: 46/PLi-82, October 20, 1965, in which we
proposed transferring the film cleaner developed for Printer II,
and now no longer required, to another contract.
In conclusion, D is most anxious to'resolve the funding
problem on this contract in the very near future and certainly
prior to the delivery of Printer I. Therefore, we urge that a
meeting be held for the purpose of resolving these outstanding
problems. We recommend that this meeting be held sometime be-
tween the 20th and the 28th of January, 1966.
