Time and Place of Meeting: 30 November 1955: Rochester, New York 2. Attendance: 50X1 50X1 3. Discussion: a. Reflector type objective optics are being designed. Progress appears satisfactory. The proposal for the unity power binoculars was discussed. Their time and financial figures should be available in three weeks. b. Some time was expended in a tour of their plant and in observing work on one of their three high speed cameras. Their 35mm camera takes 3,500 frames/sec. They use DuPont 931 film because of accuracy of perforations. The limiting speed appears to be a function of what the film will physically withstand. An 8mm and a 16mm camera are also available with correspondingly higher framing rates.
