THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. THERE ARE SEVERAL ROWS OF MINUS DENSITY
DOTS PARALLEL TO THE MAJOR AXIS OF THE FILM IN A 3.0" AREA AT THE
OUTBOARD EDGE. THE DOTS IN EACH ROW APPEAR EACH 1.69"; HOWEVER,
THE ROWS OF DOTS ARE NOT ALIGNED TO EACH OTHER AND THE ROWS DO NOT
APPEAR CONSISTENTLY. THE ROWS OF DOTS BECOME LESS NUMEROUS AND LESS
PRONOUNCED AS THE MISSION PROGRESSES. HOWEVER, SOME ARE DETECTABLE
EVEN IN THE LAST FRAME OF THE MISSION. PLUS DENSITY SPOTS, NORMALLY
REFERRED TO AS ROLLER CHATTER, APPEAR IN ROWS PARALLEL TO THE MAJOR
AXIS OF THE FILM 1.6", 1.75" AND 1.9" FROM THE INBOARD EDGE OF THE
FILM THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. IN A 3.0" BAND ADJACENT TO THE INBOARD
EDGE, THERE IS A MULTITUDE OF SMALL (0.1") INDISTINCTLY SHAPED
PLUS DENSITY SPOTS. THEIR DENSITY AND CONFIGURATION IS SUCH THAT
THEY GIVE THE IMPRESSION OF MOTTLING; HOWEVER, CLOSER EXAMINATION
INDICATES THAT THEY ARE NOT CHEMICALLY INDUCED. ON THE FIRST 50
PERCENT OF THE MISSION THERE ARE INTERMITTENT MINUS DENSITY COMETS
WITH A PLUS DENSITY TAIL EXTENDING IN THE TAKE-UP DIRECTION. THE
COMET SHAPED ANOMALY IS APPROXIMATELY 0.25" WIDE AND WITH THE TAIL
EXTENDS ABOUT 1.0" ALONG THE MAJOR AXIS, 1.35" FROM THE OUTBOARD
EDGE. IT OCCURS AT INCONSISTENT INTERVALS AND IS NOT PECULIAR TO
ANY CAMERA POSITION OR TO ANY POSITION ALONG THE MAJOR AXIS OF THE
FRAMES IT APPEARS ON. DEGRADATIONS INDUCED BY PROCESSING ARE SEVERE
ON SEVERAL FRAMES BETWEEN 1095 AND 1272. THERE ARE SEVERE BASE
ABRASIONS ON FRAMES 1095 TO 1099; FRAME 1097 CONTAINS SEVERE EMULSION
DAMAGE; FRAMES 1108 TO 1111 ARE CREASED APPROXIMATELY 3.0" INTO THE
FORMAT. THERE ARE RANDOM ABRASIONS ON FRAME 1112. THE FILM OF
FRAMES 1115 TO 1117 IS CREASED; FRAMES 1121 TO 1123 ARE CREASED,

ABRAIDED AND SCRATCHED. THERE IS LARGE QUANTITIES OF FOREIGN MATTER
ON THE EMULSION OF FRAMES 1122 AND 1123. FRAME 1126 CONTAINS SEVERE
EMULSION SCRATCHES AND ABRASIONS. FRAMES 1127 TO 1131 ARE CREASED.
FRAMES 1162/1163 CONTAIN TRANSVERSE BANDS OF VARYING DENSITY AND
ASSOCIATED BASE ABRASIONS, SUGGESTING ROLLER HESITATION DURING
PROCESSING. PROCESSING MACHINE HESITATIONS RESULTED IN EXTREME
DENSITY DIFFERENCES WITHIN 18 FRAMES BETWEEN FRAME 1242 AND 1273.
SOME OF THE CREASES, ABRASIONS AND SCRATCHES DESCRIBED ABOVE APPEAR
TO BE PRE-PROCESSING INDUCED WHIL OTHERS OF A POST-PROCESSING
NATURE. HEAT SPLICES IN ADDITION TO THOSE AT THE BEGINNING AND END
OF EACH ROLL APPEAR BETWEEN FRAMES 1079/1080, 1111/1112, 1120/1121,
1798/1799. THERE IS A MANUFACTURING SPLICE ON FRAME 859 WITH ASSOCIA-
TED STATIC INDUCED FOG ON FRAMES 857 AND 861.
D. BOTH SIDES: THE FIRST TITLE NUMBER ON EACH SIDE IS 000
AND THE LAST TITLED NUMBER IS 1892.
E. THERE WERE NO MAJOR CAMERA MALFUNCTIONS.
3. POSITIVE:
A. PI SUITABILITY IS GOOD.
B. PRINTING AND PROCESSING WAS GOOD.
C. CLOUDS OBSCURE OR DEGRADE APPROXIMATELY 20 PERCENT OF
THE MISSION.
