Basic Agreement
Reference: Minutes of Meeting - Prototype Modulated Light Film
25X1 Viewing Tables - E~tr. 17 January 1966
Gentlemen:
During the review of the Modulated Light Table Program on January 6,
1966, a list of action items was generated. Two of these items were re-
quested by government representatives. indicated in the minutes of 25X1
the meeting that we would report in writ ng the impact of making these
changes if it were significant before additional action was taken. The
following is the current status of these two items.
1. Increasing the width of the film loading door.
25X1
found that it could further widen this door one inch on
each side without any significant weakening of the console body.
Consequently, this change has been made in both prototypes.
25X1
25X1
2. Improve the film transport.
Four sources for a new film drive were originally mentioned
by the Government on January 6th. In a subsequent contact on
January 7th, the Government stated that one of these companies,
I should not be considered. Three others were contacted:
did not respond to three attempts
to discuss our application. .
25X1 I had a system with requirements slightly
Declassification Review by different than ours. They were not inter-
ested in building a drive for our applica-
ti on.

U. S. Government
Washington, D. C. - 2 - 2 February 1966
In their Variscan system, they
have a drive which can handle
film up to 9 inches in width and
at slow speeds between .005 and
L. inch/second and at fast speeds
between .01 and 50 inches/second
(velocity and tension controlled) 25X1
Costs for our application could
not be obtained over the phone
but a visit will be made to lI
on February 3 or 1j (in the course
of another trip) to obtain an es-
timate.
A quick estimate was also made by engineers as to the cost and feasi-25X1
bility of using techniques similar to those used in our "Stabilite" to
"achieve the goal of a 0.25 to 50 inch per second film drive speed range.
There is some question as to the space available in the current console
for using these techniques and a more detailed analysis would be required
to resolve this question. However, it is estimated that the cost for
this application of these techniques would be over 26xi
In the light of the Government's stated desire not to fund a new film
25X1 drive (in discussions with on January 14th and with
on January 20th), we have decided not to change the basic film drive
on either the first or second light table. A change is being made in
the gear box for the current drive and other modifications will be made,
if necessary, to assure that the film is not damaged when changing from
one speed to another.
Very truly yours,

Modulated Light Film Viewing Table
Performance Check List
January 6, 1966
This table is designed for viewing of photographic
transparencies illuminated by a kinescope raster, The
raster spot intensity is varied automatically to effect
large area contrast compression. The mechanical structure
has been designed to facilitate both film manipulation and
observation.
This equipment is the first engineering prototype
delivered under Contract
