BECAUSE OF THE LARGE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS REQUIRED A SINGLE TITLING
HEAD ON THE DUAL HEAD BLAKETRON WOULD NOT HOLD ALL CHARACTERS IN 12
POINT TYPE.
0. TWO OF OUR RECENTLY RECEIVED BLAKETRON TITLERS HAD TO BE
DRILLED AND TAPPED TO ACCEPT THE TWO ADDITIONAL 70 MM CONVERTER
ROLLERS. THEY HAD COME FROM MANUFACTURER SET UP FOR 9 1/2 INCH ONLY
AND HAD ONLY ONE 70101M ROLLER WHICH DID NOT PERMIT ACCURATE TRACKING.
E. ONE CLEANER WAXER CONSTANTTY PRESENTED TRACKING PROBTEMS
DUE TO POOR DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS OF 70MM CONVERSION SPINDLE.
2d FOR BUDGETARY AND SUPPLY PURPOSES REQUEST WE BE ADVISED IF
IT IS PLANNED TO UTILIZE THE 70MM FORMAT FREQUENTLY IN FUTURE MISSIONS.
WILL THE 9 1/2 INCH FORMAT BE PHASED OUT AND IF SO9 WHEN? CONTINUED
USE OF 70MM WILL ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR PROGRAM TO
ACQUIRE PHOTO INTERPRETATION READ-OUT EQUIPMENT AND RECTIFICATION
TRANSFORMATION DEVICES.
3? NO TRACKER FILM RECEIVED WITH THIS MISSION. CAN WE ASSUME
THAT NORMALLY WE WILL NOT RECEIVE TRACKER?
