Results:Postflight and pilot debriefing indicated perfect flight but
latter tests showed that the shutter in the right oblique
did not open.
Dicussion: Film clips of 10 feet showed no exsposure on the R6 but OK
on V8 & L7.
Reason for shutter failure was found to be a broken wind spring.
Spring was broken lengthwise on a slant about 1/2 n long.
Shutter and spring being returned to shop thru channels.
Due to heavy clouds it was impossible to evualate film clips.
Balance of equipment worked properly.
The fact that the shutter worked when installed but failed
during the mission was brought to the processor's attention
'.n the remark section so if they desire they can respool the
film to start from the beginning and stop when the unexsposed
portion begins.
Oil on the wi.:idows has not been noticeable even though we have
not recieved the boots. This is due evidently to corrected
reliefiit values and a cover that forces the oil mist to go
up instead of coming straight out as in the past.
Conclusion: This malfunction was not one that could be foreseen or expected
and is not practical to expect a maintainance check. This shutter
hay4 worked good in all previous missions.
