MEMORANDUM FOR: THE RECORD
2 November 1954
SUBJECT : Electronic Flash Unit for installation in
the Printer, Contours, Reflex (P-156)
1.
seemed to feel the task of installing an electronic flash unit in the
Contours Reflex Printer was not too difficult. We discussed the power
supply for this installation and again the flash tubes will be used.
I again advised them that we should require the use of this printer
with both electronic flash tubes from battery power and from A.C. power
mains. I believe this was stated in our initial requirement sent to
and is clear.
2. I advised them of the need of keeping the unit as small and
light as possible so as to be portable. Again the idea of being able
n seemed to see, or state at least, any difficulties or o
or
to c the unit in a briefcase was discussed, and neither_______
nor________
to this.
3. It is hoped the same number of flashes maybe obtained with
the Contours installation as with the BOOWU but this will have to be
determined later when more consideration can be given to the location
of the pack (either inside the Contours or attached to the outside of
the case) and other things such as bulk and weight.
