B. 9R SIDE: EDGE STATIC AND ROLLER CHATTER ARE PRESENT
THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. PLUS DENSITY OVALS WERE NOTED INTER-
MITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. THESE ARE PROBABLY ASSOCIATED
WITH ROLLER CHATTER. EDGE FOG IS PRESENT ON BOTH EDGES OF THE
FILM. THERE ARE MANY FINE PLUS DENSITY LINES THROUGHOUT THE
MISSION. FOG STREAKS ALONG THE OUTBOARD EDGE WERE NOTED IN
FRAMES 0213, 0766, 0771, 1027 AND 1400. THERE IS A HEAT SPLICE
IN FRAME 1027. A MANUFACTURING SPLICE IS LOCATED IN FRAME 1556.

AND BY FRAME 0700 THE DOTS-HAD DISAPPEARED. EDGE STATIC IS
PRESENT ON BOTH EDGES OF THE FILM. ROLLER CHATTER WAS NOTED
THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. THERE ARE MANY FAINT PLUS DENSITY
LINES THROUGHOUT THE FORMAT. SOME OF THE LINES APPEAR TO FORM
A BAND ABOUT SIX INCHES WIDE AND THEY ARE VISIBLE THROUGHOUT
THE MISSION. THE FILM IS CRINKLED AND FOLDED IN FRAMES 0125
THROUGH 0127. THERE IS A HEAT SPLICE IN FRAME 1225.
D. BOTH SIDES: A CHANGE IN DENSITY WAS NOTED IN SOME
VERTICAL FRAMES. THIS IS PROBABLY CAUSED BY AN INTERNAL CAMERA
REFLECTION. THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 2 0 FRAMES WHICH CONTAIN
SMEARED IMAGERY CAUSED BY VEHICLE ROLL RATE. THE LAST TITLED
FRAME IS 2247.
E. THERE WERE NO MAJOR CAMERA OR PROCESSING MALFUNCTIONS.
3. POSITIVE:
A. PI SUITABILITY OF THE MISSION WAS GOOD; HOWEVER, DUE
TO THE HEAVY DENSITY OF THE NEGATIVES THE POSITIVES WERE LIGHTER
IN DENSITY CONSEQUENTLY LOSING SOME DETAIL.
B. PRINTING AND PROCESSING WERE FAIR.

OF THE MISSION.
