2. ORIGINAL NEGATIVE:
A. THE DENSITY OF THE NEGATIVES ARE NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY
HEAVY. THE RESOLUTION IS GOOD.
B. 9R SIDE: THERE ARE NUMEROUS PLUS DENSITY DOTS ALONG THE
TITLED EDGE OF THE MATERIAL. THEY ARE IN A RANDOM PATTERN AND
DIMINISH AS THE MISSION PROGRESSES UNTIL THEY ARE NO LONGER DE-
TECTABLE EFTER FR!tME 1500. SIMILAR DOTS ARE DETECTABLE IN THE
FORMAT ALONG THE INBOARD EDGE. THESE DOTS CAN BE FIRST DETECTED
IN FRAME 975 AND APPEAR RANDOMLY THROUGH FRAME 1449. THEY BLEND
INTO THE IMAGERY AND ARE MOST NOTICEABLE IN AREAS OF LOW DENSITY
(EXAMPLES: FRAMES 975-983, 1100, 1111, 1145, 1321, 1332, 1405 AND
1449). 'RAME 1251 CONTAINS A MINUS DENSITY COMET. THE INBOARD

EDGE CONTAINS AN EMULSION RUB THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MISSION.
THIS RUB APPEARS TO BE POST PROCESSING INDUCED AND EXTENDS AS
MUCH AS 0.5 INCHES INTO THE FORMAT. IT HAS THE APPEARANCE OF WHAT
