proposed that IEG's total e quip Bent order for light tables should be as
follows:
It was reco nize(l that this. statcr;;cnt of ocquiprrcnt needs differed frah
earlier st:),t0:!Un.t's in two respect s; nai7e1y, (1) our previously indicated
(5-Year Plan, etc.) total t;as for 223 units, and (2) the light-table total
11a5 previously spread through FY 73. The decision to incranse. the nu:bers
was based en the following:

 NIORANDUM FOR Chief, Technical Services Group,. NPIC
SUBJECT . IEG Decisions. Concerning equipment Queries
7? discussed IEG interest in
two items manufactured by 0 These were the 15X eyepiece for the
240 Microstereoscope and the Model II. Stereorhomboids.
.-.2. I cannot foresee.a requirement for the 15X eyepieces since
the range of magnification available in.the lOX and 20X eyepieces and
the range of magnification of the Advanced Stereo Rhomboid System will
be sufficient for our stereoscopic work. In the monoscopic mode
sufficient overlap exists in the 1OX and 20X eyepieces with the avail
able zoom range--to cover the 15X capability. Additional field of view
of the 15X eyepieces would not offset the cost for a duplication in
magnification range. In addition, the resolution will not be increased
through use of the 15X eyepieces. .
3. At this,time IEG does not have any interest in the Model II
..Stereorhomb oids.
