PAR 207 "Definitive Study of Contact Printers." Final Report due in
February. Proceeding satisfactorily.
PAR 202/.224 "Briefing Print Enlarger." Breadboard and tests in final
stage. Have waived the final report in order to construct the
Prototype which has been authorized as PAR 243. This project is
considered outstanding.
PAR 211 "Microdensitometer Study of Effects of Processing." Final Report
received on 1 November 1965. Evaluation completed on 31 January.
Considered Unsatisfactory.
PAR 212 "Color Acquisition System Review Study." Final Report was
received 1 November. Evaluation completed 31 January. Considered
Barely Adequate.
PAR 213 "Color Reproduction Systems Review." Final Report was; evaluated
on 28 December 1965. Considered Below Average.
PAR 216 "Laser Photographic Exposure." Evaluation of Final Report was
completed on 29 October 1965. Considered Unsatisfactory.
PAR 217 "Optimization of Lasers." Final Report was received on 1 Nov. 1965.
Evaluation was completed on 18 January 1966. Considered Unsatisfactory.
PAR 233 "Zoom Projection Lens." Work has just begun. Visited
3.1 January and 1 February 1966. Proceeding satisfactorily.
PAR 242A "Color Demonstration Materials." Proceeding satisfactorily.
PAR 243 "Briefing Print Enlarger Prototype." Commenced this project in
January 1966. Great expectations!
COMMENTS:
PAR 211, PAR 212, PAR 213, PAR 216 and PAR 217 all a ear to be
challenges not met by this particular division They probably
should not have been assigned as projects since so little has
been given in return. Recommend we notify =of general poor quality
of research and reporting, then close out these particular projects
as "water under the bridge".
Note: PARs 214 and 215 were delivered and installed in NPIC in
October/November 1965. They are still undergoing experimental
operations although the PARs are completed.

October 1985
During your visit here on 29 c epteaber, I promised to check on one
item concerning PAR 213 and to provide our appraisal and decision to
you. Concerning a follow-on and your recommendation for study of stereo
proection techniques for use in briefing, we do not desire a proposal.
This item falls pretty generally into the same catagory as that of our
-cnswer on PAR 227. Much more needs to be known on haw, when and where
color will be utilized, and the size and type of materials that will be
used, before we will seek proposals for color viewing equipment. We
realize that in time we will become increasingly preoccupied with Items
similar to this and with other color film problem areas.
The conclusions and recommendations contained in the final report
of PAR 213 are now being studied, along with other related technological
materials. We hope to soon be able to determine those areas where our
early efforts and expenditures could best apply in the exploitation of
color. We plan to comment upon each of your recommendations listed in
PAR 213.
