g y ppage and future delivery
schedules. Individuals attending the c scussions were
as follows:
under environmental testing contributed heavilyitoward~
delivery schedule slippage on the second (602) 13C
system. He attributed this trouble to a bad batch of
components (capacitors, diodes, etc.) and felt confident
that with the solution of this problem they could adhere
to a more realistic schedule which is included as
Attachment A to this memorandum.
3. Also attached to this memorandum, Attachment B,
is a distribution schedule for the 600, 700 and 800 series

4, It was decided that a total of four (4) sets of
destruct covers would be adequate to support the IDEALIST
program? estimated the cost of the four
sets of covers would be less than lOK. He indicated that
a proposal coverin the cast of the covers would be
forthcoming, also stated that proposals
would bE~ submitted covering additional costs for system
improvement for the 700 series units as well as the
battleshort capability (protective circuit override far
OXCART program) in all series units. The latter will
provide System 13C commonalty between all programs. The
estimated cost of the battleshort capability in all
systems is approximately $300.00/unit.

In view of your concern expressed in reference (a~, I have
'reviewod the problems affecting the entire 13c delivery schedule. This
review disclosed certain unsolved engineering and manufacturing prab-
-lams which make it difficult to establish a fixrn schedule- . However, action...
`has been initiated to solve these problems and to ensure a realistic
delivery schedule. This action includes: ~ ? ` ' ~ e
(1~ ~ Assignment of additional personnel in problem areas, and
(2) Performing assembly and tmsts, formerly done in an ..M;. ...
;engineering labs in our manufacturing facility. `. .
;` these unite at a rate in excess- of the proposed delivery schedule. However.
?based an the availability of test equipment, the fallowing a~chedule appears ''
to be realistic: ?
