Per recent request of your technical monitor, we are submitting our pro-
posal for the fabrication of fifteen (15) TEM units. These units will be
the same as the prototype now in your possession.
We propose to perform this work on a cost-plus-fixed-fee, one year contract.
As shown in attached cost estimate sheet, we expect to incur expenses in
the amount of $31,440.42. 0 .30
Very truly yours,

Work Statement: Fabricate and test fifteen prototype units based on designs
of initial prototype unit, using techniques developed during
manufacture, assembly and test of this unit.
Operational Sequence: A signal from an external source operates a stepping
switch which moves through 24 contact positions, presenting
at the output a serial binary coded signal representing the
time in minutes since the device was started. The stepping
switch is driven by a transistorized multivibrator circuit
operating a solenoid driven ratchet. The binary code is
picked up by the stepping switch from three calendar discs
which are solenoid operated, and receive their time base
from a watch. A detailed description of operation is given
in Appendix I.
Specification: Running Time: 60 Day Calendar Run 1"0 TEM readouts.
Power Source: External battery supply of 5.5 to 6.5
volts. Manually wound mainspring.
Initiation of Readout: Negative 6 volts minimum duration 10
milliseconds and maxdmnim duration 2
seconds.
Excitation for readout: 1000 cycles A.C., 6 volts peak to peak, or

Reports: Bi-monthly reports will be written covering the progress of
the work. A final report summarizing the work, relating con-
clusions and recommendations will also be written. Five copies
of each report will be submitted.

Work Schedules We propose to build the test sixteen prototype units and
to furnish a final engineering report, within nine months
of the date of the contract.
We plan to build the first model in three months, but there
will be considerable fabrication of parts for the fifteen
units during this same period so that the effort will be
divided. over the nine months period, and not concentrated
during the last six months.
