28 November 1960,
Fabrication of parts and procurement is complete with
exception of a few items. associated with the electronics. These
delinquent items are.not 'affecting the assembly however.
Mechanical assembly of the table is 25% complete and of
the elevating table 50% complete,
PROBLEM AREAS
Tracking Light Sources
iY~~ ~~~ IiItl11Yr..
Difficulty has been encountered in the design
of the high intensity tracking light sources in obtaining full.
coverage over the viewing area. This. prrblem is with the design of
the mechanical linkage which is used to position and hold the master
magnets. Last month is was reported that interferences exist when
the magnets are toward the rear (away from the operator),,Qf this
viewing format; it was also suggested that this may not be a serious
limitation. However, since that writing, it has been established
by the customers represegtative that the rear portion of the viewing
format is of great importance becuase of the more favorable position
of the microscope eyepieces with respect to the operator when the
rhombiods are positioned toward the rear. Consequently, the design
has been changed so that the rear part of the format is favored.
This, however, only shifts " the problem area from the rear to the
front of the format. Fabrication oi'_the new design is proceeding

with the realization that there may be an area in the front of the
format where the high intensity sources may not be useable.
Platen Raising Mechanism
Initial tests of the platen raising mechanism
showed that friction and alignment tolerances resulted in marginal
performance. The design was immediately changed and the modifica-
tion is currently being incorporated. The change does not alter
the basic actuating device Ca linear induction motor- "Polynoid")
but only requires modification of the actuating linkages.
PRAJECCTTE) WORK FOR NOVEMBER
Mechanical assembly will be,80% complete. Electrical
assembly will be 50% complete.
