MEMORANDUM FOR: THE RECORD
SUBJECT : Monitoring contract for TR Binoculars with
1. 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.
