1. It is now apparent that many of the technical tar eta of
this investigation, as stated in the objectives of the proposal
of 11 February 1965, which was made a part of this con ract,
will not be achieved by the contract expiation date. Film
samples recently received from the contractor indicate that
gamma control is possible. However, there is nothing to in-
dicate that either the D min of 0.1 or the D max of 3 can be
achieved.
Further, little or no progress has been made toward achieving
a black and white film or one that gives the physiological sensation
of black.
There aiso.'remains to be solved serious fixing problem,
to prevent fading of the image when exposed to strong actinic
light.
2. It Iq stated in_progress report number 12 that the time
remaining after 21 October will be devoted to the final report;
therefore, we can expect little in the way of further progress
on this effort under the existing contract.
