FOR DI, BRASS KNOB, DOCR, DM 4, DIM, SAC HQS, OMAHA. FROM NATIONAL
PHOTOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION CENTER.
1. CAMERA B 5 WAS USED IN MISSION 3654 FLOWN ON 5 JULY 1963;
PROCESSING WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY WESTOVER.
2. ORIGINAL NEGATIVE:
A. THE NEGATIVE IS OVEREXPOSED AND APPEARS GRAINY. THE
RESOLUTION IS FAIR. BREAKDOWN OF THE FILM INTO 132 FRAME
INCREMENTS, RATHER THAN THE 133 FRAME INCREMENTS UTILIZED BY ALL
OTHER PROCESSORS, CAUSES SOME PROBLEMS IN CONTROL. IT IS SUGGESTED
FOR THE SAKE OF CONSISTENCY, THAT 133 FRAME INCREMENTS BE USED.
"SPECS" USED BY NPIC9 NAVY AND EASTMAN KODAK FOR FILM BREAKDOWN
AND TITLING ARE AVAILABLE.
B. 9R SIDE: A FAINT PLUS DENSITY STREAK, 3.28" FROM, AND

PARALLEL TO, THE OUTBOARD EDGE, IS PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
SIDE. TWO PARALLEL, FAINT, PLUS DENSITY STREAKS, PERPENDICULAR
TO THE EDGE, OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE MISSION (MOST
NOTICEABLE OVER CLOUD FREE WATER AREA). THESE STREAKS ARE 2.8"
AND 3.1" FROM THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE FORMAT WHERE THEY
ARE VISIBLE. A GHOST IMAGE OF ALL POSITION INDICATORS APPEARS
WHEN THE CORRECT POSITION INDICATOR IS EXPOSED, WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF THE 2L POSITION INDICATOR WHICH DID NOT FUNCTION
THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. FILM CREASING, ASSOCIATED WITH HEAT
SPLICES OCCURS IN THE FOLLOWING FRAMES: 527, 528, 745 THROUGH
749, 1451, 1452, 1848, 1849 AND 1850. NUMEROUS PINHOLES AND
BLISTERS OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. HEAT SPLICES WERE PLACED
ON THE EMULSION SIDE OF THE FILM, AND OBSCURED SMALL PORTIONS
OF THE MAIN FORMAT.
C. 9L SIDE: THERE ARE MULTIPLE FINE SCRATCHES AND CREASES
LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE FORMAT 4.3" TO 4.9" FROM, AND
PARALLEL TO, THE INBOARD EDGE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SIDE. THESE
LINES AND CREASES ARE PROCESSOR INDUCED. FRAMES 765 AND 766 AND
THE MAJOR PORTIONS OF FRAMES 764 AND 767 ARE MISSING. FRAME
1583 IS NOT NUMBERED. FRAMES 764, 767, 1886, AND 1890 ARE
FOGGED. MINOR PORTIONS OF FRAMES ARE COVERED WHERE HEAT SPLICES
ARE USED TO SPLICE LEADERS AND TRAILERS TO THE NEGATIVES.
(EXAMPLES: FRAMES 264 AND 397). THERE ARE EMULSION LIFTS AND

HANDLING MARKS THROUGHOUT THE MISSION. FRAME 1491 CONTAINS MORE
THAN 40 CHEMICAL SPOTS OR BLISTERS.
3. POSITIVE:
A. THE PI SUITABILITY IS POOR. THIS IS DUE TO INTERMITTENT
LACK OF CONTACT IN PORTIONS OF THE FORMAT DURING PRINTING, THE
FAIR TO POOR RESOLUTION OF THE POSITIVES, AND OVEREXPOSURE IN
THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE.
B. CLOUDS COVER APPROXIMATELY 55 PERCENT OF THE MISSION.
C. DATA SHEETS THAT ACCOMPANIED THIS MISSION INDICATED THAT
THE SHUTTER AND APERATURE SETTINGS WERE IDENTICAL TO THE SETTINGS
ON PREVIOUS MISSIONS. THESE OTHER MISSIONS WERE TAKEN AT THE
SAME TIME OF DAY UNDER SIMILAR CLOUD CONDITIONS WHERE THE
RESULTANT PHOTOGRAPHY HAS GOOD DENSITY, NORMAL CONTRAST AND
GRAININESS. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE ACCURACY OF THE DATA
SHEETS OR THE CAMERA SETTINGS BE CHECKED.
