SUBJECT: Trip Report - RR-49 with , Cedar Rapids, Iowa 25X1A5a1
7. Project Status:
25X1A9a Mr. participation in this trip was primarily to evaluate
the checkout procedures to be used with the RR-49. He discussed the
procedure and equipment with the -Quality Control.6man and they 25X1A5a1
seem to be in agreement on all major points. The only bone of contention
_ involved the old argument as to whether the receiver should be checked
for sensitivity using hard or soft microvolts. The' engineers 25X1A5a1
are on our side and the test procedure will utilize the hard microvolt
approach.
The first production unit RR-49 has been assembled with the exception,
of the dial tape and is presently being checked out. This unit was not
operating during our visit because of a defective BFO coil. The dial tape
was not installed because these tapes have not been received from the
vendor. The vendor has said he will deliver, the tapes on or before
24 December. A dial tape which has been hand calibrated is being used
during the testing process.
We talked with Mr. Provisioning man, about 25X1A5a1
spare parts and maintenance of these receivers. He didn't have information
as promised a month ago, but indicated that a provisioning and maintenance
program will be formulated by the time the first units are delivered.
The trend in this area is still towards modular replacement with the
exception of the large components that are relatively easy to get at.
25X1A5a1 The - people believe they can meet the 30 December delivery
deadline providing they don't run into any excessive troubles with these
first LO units. Since that probability is very remote, we will probably
obtain delivery during the first or second week of January. In spite of
this, the manufacturing people, as well as the engineers, seem to
have a great deal of confidence in their ability to produce the RR-49 and
are not anticipating any problems once the first batch has come-off-the-
line.
