1. IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A DUPLICATE NEGATI
FROM THE FIRST DP IN WHICH SPECIAL ATTENTION WOULD $
GIVEN SECTION BY SECTION TO INSURE RELATIVELY UNIFOR
DENSITY WHICH IS NOT NOW POSSIBLE UNDER THE PRESENT
METHOD OF REDUCTION. FROM THIS DN A DP COULD BE
MADE AND ALL SUBSEQUENT DNS MADE FROM IT. IF THIS
AND
IMMM PROCEDURE WERE FOLLOWED11ALL OF THE DNS MADE:
AT THE END OF THE DUPLICATION FOR THE GIVEN MISSION,
ALL DPS FOR THE COMMUNITY COULD BE MADE UNDER THE
PRESENT SCHEDULE AND WITHOUT DELAY.
2. THE FACTORY HAS JURY-RIGGED A MACHINE
MAKING A REVERSAL NEGATIVE WHICH IN THE VIEW OF THE
I
FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE WOULD PERMIT EXTRACTION OF_
MORE INFORMATION THAN FROM THE PRESENT DNS. AN

THE VALUE OF THIS NEGATIVE FOR PI PURPOSES. WERE T
PROCESS USED IT WOULD MEAN THAT ALL DNS WOULD HAVE
TO BE MADE FROM THE ORIGINAL AND THEREFORE T WOULD
INCUR GREATER DELAY THAN THE PRESENT METHOD IN
WHICH ALL DNS ARE MADE FROM A HIGH QUALITY DP. THE
PREPARATION OF THE REVERSAL NEGATIVE WOULD TMCE A ?U
THREE DAYS (THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS REQUIRED IN
I (ONE) ABOVE), BUT THIS PROCEDURE WOULD ALSO INCUR
FURTHER DELAY BECAUSE EACH NEGATIVE WOULD BE MADE
FROM THE DN. A FURTHER DISADVANTAGE IS THAT THE ORI
HAL NEGATIVE WOULD BE HANDLED THAT MUCH MORE OFTE
THAN IS THE CASE UNDER PRESENT PROCEDURE.

IF IT IS CONSIDERED IMPORTANT BY THE CUSTOMERS TO HAVE
