is currently trying to add competent personnel to
its staff for assignment to this project. Currant labor
procurement difficulties are well known. In order to

from the engineering staff will be mode available.
2. Various interconnection methods were discussed. The
fact was established that the receiver used for the
AS-3 had not been selected, hence:

7. The specification was based on a band-switched transmitter,
so far as test frequencies are concerned. It was recom-
mended that octave frequencies be used to test instead,
namely 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 mc.
8. The currently used method of saturation coding of magnetic
tape to eliminate random noise triggering was explained.
9. The mphenol checkerboard connector as used on the AN/TRC-6
was discussed as a possible desirable connector for the
AS-3 System. was to investigate this connector. 50X1
