1. Langley Signal Center 5/10 Year Planning - No change
in status.
2. CIFAX
25X1 W.
a. The auto-sync units should be delivered in
early August.
b. The Xerox Data Converters have been modified
to provide auto-sync alarm control on loss-of-sync only.
3. KY-3 Call Director System - 25X1A5A1
Inc. has been awarded the contract or 50 a srec or
Systems. All GFE items have been shipped to the contractor.
The pre-production model should be delivered on approximately
1 August. The remaining 49 units will be delivered in partial
shipments within a 120 day period.
4. has received initial deliveries of Tally
readers and punches. Preliminary RFI tests are being con-
ducted on punches and readers to pinpoint countermeasures
problems.
25X1A5A1 5. MAX-II - 0 has begun work on MAX-II. The first
coordination meeting will be held August 2 and 3 at which
time the Project Engineering Plan will be reviewed.
6. COINS - Signal Center layout and patching requirements
are being prepared.
7. 360 Remotes
a. The Telco has been contacted to see if they
can provide complete "BLACK" interface between crypto
and Telco service. If possible, this will eliminate
25X1A5A1the I I between our crypto and Telco.
25X1A5A1 b. will supply all equipment at OCS computor
i area to interface to our crypto equipment. All we
require on the red side is to connect to their signal
and control lines. No OC-E interface equipment is
required on the "Red" side.
c. A trip was made to
to discuss RFI p oblems. The general observation to be
25X1A5A1 made is thatl has evidently expended more talent and
money in FS-222 projects than other computer manufacturers,
but with no more end results.

8. Station Clock - Investigations still under way.
9. Data Systems
a. Langley Signal Center Voice/Data Circuit Patch
Facility - No change in status.
b. A very limited test utilizing a Rixon SEBIT 36
modem through the KY-3 (758C) switch to determine the
feasibility of a 758C data switching system was conducted.
The results of this test were encouraging and arrangements
are being made to determine long term data errors that
mater be introduced by the 758C switching action during
data transmission.
10. KY-3/NSA Gray Phone Interconnection - NSA measured
the cross-talk in their gray phone switch and "unofficially"
found the switch and associated cabling met the NSA red
switch cross-talk specification. The KY-3/NSA switch interface
requirements are now being defined in detail in order to build
a suitable interface.
11. High Density R-100 Unit - (HD-R-100) - Approval for
installation at Langley was received from OC-S. Procurement
action is underway.
12. Revised CSR-5 Manual - The CSR-5 manual has been
revised and placed in stock.
13. New KW-7 Safe - Class 5
a. Preliminary steps have been taken to modify a
Class 5 safe for use with the KW-7 TWX and field station
installations. The reason for the change from the Class
25X1A5A1C to Class 5 is physical security. After the prototype
(being modified by0 has been approved, thirty-nine
additional units will be procured and equipped with the
new CP-12.
b. KW-7 Power Filter - FI-24 - This unit is designed
to filter the AC power supplied to the ASR's and KW-7's
utilized in TWX installations. Thirty units have been
completed by the contractor and are being shipped to
warehouse stock under federal stock number 5915-H02-2571.
c. KW-7 TWX Back to Back Adaptor - This unit was
designed for testing two KW-7's "back to back" by bypassing
the TWX equipment. Thirty-five units have been fabricated
by Airtronics Inc. and are presently being placed into stock
under federal stock number 5935-H02-2570.

14. CSR-4 - Suggested changes have been sent to one
area for field testing. If acceptable for increased
reliability, an MWO will be issued.
15. R20 ( ) Ke er - Four modified units have been sent
to OC-SP for testing. The modifications involved are an
effort to reduce/negate cleaning of numbering module stepping
switches.
16. Flexowriter Replacement - The Federal Standard 222
version of the Model 28/37 machine is expected to be delivered
during the latter part of September.
17. HW-28 - No change in status.
18. BCS Catalog (.Teletype Equipment)- Additional equipment
sheets are being prepared and will be sent to all holders upon
completion.

i er
Replacement Preliminary drawings are being completed for
an optical replacement for the present passive filtX1A5A1
boxes. The new box will utilize the same nigh density R-100
components as will be used in future signal centers.
20. Automatic Message Numbering & Tandem Operation System -
"AMNTOS"fr This project was held up due to "end of the year
poverty." However, the specifications are now in the hands of
several contractors and the results of their bids will be
reported next month.
21. Light Operated Relay Test - R70 & R80 - Two circuits
of a six circuit receive cabinet were modified to standard
factory wiring. A modified base adaptor, R-70 open circuit
detector and an R-80 relay were plugged in in place of the
normal RY-30 mechanical type relay. This combination has
been working satisfactorily for approximately one week. The
test will continue for an additional week.
The four remaining circuits had previously been modified
to operate using a Stelma ER-17 relay. The ER-17's were
removed and directly replaced with an R-80 with no modifications
These four circuits have also been operating satisfactorily
for approximately one week. This test is in an effort toward
"standardization".
22. Control Panel - CP-12 - This control panel is designed
to replace both the CP-10 and the CP/A-10. In addition to
being used in the TWX and field station KW-7 safe installations,
the new design may be mounted in a standard 19" rack. One
prototype will be made under a task order and the remaining
forty-nine units will be subject to competitive bid.

23. AC Operated Distortion Measuring Set - AC/DMS-lA-1 -
Fifty Distortion Measuring Sets (DMS-lA-1) will be removed
from stock and modified from battery operation to AC operation
and repackaged in a slightly larger case. After modification,
all units will be returned to stock under a new federal stock
number.
24. Full Duplex Single Channel KG-13/TTY - Feasibility
studies have been completed. A "back-to-back" configuration
will be installed in the Ames Building to determine reliability.
The hardware cost per terminal will be approximately $12,000.00
including the KG-13-
25. CU-22 Auto-S nc Units - In process of being debugged
Delivery expected early August.

9. Equipment
a. Arrangements were made to ship a Gates HFL-3000
3 KW Linear Am lifier and a Gates SG-70 RF exciter to
25X1A5A1 I I who will evaluate components operation
wi-on consideration for field conditions.
b. A systems evaluation of "Shot-gun" MUX, as we are
using it, will also be performed by 0 Equipment 25X1A5A1
requisitioning is in process.
c. Procurement of an improved remotely-controlled
1 KW antenna tuner, to replace the present standard TMC
ATS-2-50 unit, has been initiated. The specifications
were written from proposals offered by for their 25X1A5A1
HFAS-9 unit, which features pre-set frequency tuning
utilizing plug-in cards and provisions for a dummy load.
An initial quantity of 25 was requested for field evaluation.
d. Requisition for procuring two Gates SG-75 (multi-
mode) exciters was prepared and an R&D Laboratory evaluation
of the unit has been requested. The first SG-75 due in
latter July will be two or three weeks late in arriving due
to plant holiday shutdown.
e. A quantity of TS-10 test sets and AU-11 attenuator
units has been requisitioned for shipment to field stations;
these provide a method of evaluating and maintaining recog-
nition modules of the CU-10.
10. Technical Bulletin - An Engineering Technical Bulletin
which describes repair of RF arc over damage in Collins 208U-10
Amplifiers has been prepared.
11. Tri-Services Receiver -1A5A1
marketing an inexpensive strip-receiver for RTTY operation in
conjunction with their Model 1200 converter on fixed frequency
circuits. A frequency synthesizer is being designed to comple-
ment the receiver. One of the prototype units, if satisfactorily
equipped with synthesizer, will be made available for R&D Lab
evaluation.
25X1A5A1
100 Watt CW Transmitter - I has designed
a self-contained transistorized (except a 7094 final tube) 2-32 me
transmitter which produces 100 watts output. The unit is provided
with a build-in 120/240 volt power supply featuring circuit
breaker protection and an antenna tuner capable of matching
"extremely wide" load impedances in conjunction with a multi-
meter. A six position crystal switch and a VFO (to follow)
