2. ORIGINAL NEGATIVE:
A. THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS SLIGHTLY UNDEREXPOSED BUT THE RESOLU-
TION IS GOOD WHERE NOT DEGRADED BY ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS.
B 9R SIDE : A PROMINENT PLUS-DENSITY STREAK RUNS PARALLEL
TO AND 1.20" FROM THE INBOARD EDGE THROUGHOUT THE FILM. A LESS
NOTICEABLE PLUS-DENSITY STREAK RUNS PARALLEL TO AND 3.30" FROM THE
INBOARD EDGE. THIS IS DETECTABLE ONLY IN THIN-DENSITY AREAS OF THE
PHOTOGRAPHY. BOTH EDGES CONTAIN MINOR EDGE STATIC DISCHARGES
THROUGHOUT THE FILM. ROLLER-INDUCED STATIC DISCHARGES ARE PRESENT
ALONG THE INBOARD EDGE BUT THEIR FREQUENCY AND MAGNITUDE ARE
NEGLIGIBLE. FRAME 046 CONTAINS A MANUFACTURER'S SPLICE WITHIN THE

FILM. A SHORT ROY OF PLUS-DENSITY SPOTS (SPOT STATIC DISCHARGES)
PARALLEL TO AND 3.10" FROM THE OUTBOARD EDGE OF THE FILM IS

JOINED BY A SIMILAR BUT LESS DETECTABLE ROY PARALLEL TO AND 1.35"
FROM THE INBOARD EDGE. FRAMES 666-1025 (END OF MISSION) CONTAIN
A PLUS-DENSITY STREAK PARALLEL TO AND 3.55" FROM THE OUTBOARD EDGE.

AND FRAME 689 CONTAINS A HEAT SPLICE.
D. BOTH SIDES: IMAGE MOTION IS EVIDENT IN 32 FRAMES, AFFECT-
ING 10 1R POSITIONS, It VERTICAL POSITIONS, AND 11 IL POSITIONS.

IS PROBABLY INDUCED BY NORMAL VEHICLE MANEUVERS. THE IMAGE DE-
GRADATION CORRELATES WITH VEHICLE COURSE CHANGES. THE AUTOMATIC
FRAME COUNTER JAMMED ON COUNTER NUMBER 1000 AND REMAINED INOPERATIVE
THROUGHOUT THE LAST 25 FRAMES. BOTH SIDES CONTAIN TITLED FRAMES
0001-1025.
