March for John R. Approval.
Will use Telecomputing Magnetic reading head type 15A

counter. Plan to use Nixie tube display of micron
count, resettable to zero on command.
V1111 use 22 F' Diam Graphmo ground to cool" toter
metering roller. Plan to try R0? film wrap for
teetering. Can increase to 180 by rework if needed.
Counter geared 10 rev to 1 roller rev giving 20,000
counts to 200 mm.
Loosely run developement program. No project plan,
no in-house written design directive, no close
coordination of electrical and mechanical design,
no error analysis to assure achievement of reading
accuracy. These things are not always needed but
in this case they would be highly desirable.
Design nearing completion, detail manufacturing drawings
being made. No b new parts made yet. Plan to
mock up vacuum metering roller for test in about
2 weeks, (seems Optimistic).
