Prototype HTA/5 processor was delivered to March AFB, California, on
30 September for acceptance tests and extensive additional tests imposed
by SAC. Tests are being conducted by 15th Rec. Tech. Squad. under Lt Col
William Richards. STATOTHR
One epresentative and one Manufacturing
Representative were in attendance for the first 20 days for installation
and checkout. The Engineer Representative has been retained and is
expected to remain there for an additional period not to exceed a total
of 45 days which will end on or about 22 November. All contractor service
(by these two men) has been at Government expense.
The contractor has been quite cooperative and has put forth a good
effort to keep the machine operating during the test period. However,
the processor has exhibited excessive breakdowns due to a variety of
causes. Consistent effort has been applied to correct each breakdown as
it occurs. Most problems bava been alleviated. One, however, has re-
curred many times and thus far has defied solution. This has been the
frequent but inconsistent out-out of various solution pumps which seem
to be overloaded, causing them to overheat and blow the motor fuses.
It has been assumed that the pump overheating is due to low 'voltage supply
and heavier fuses have been used to keep the pump motors running at
somewhat higher temperatures than recommended by the pump manufacturer,
but supposedly within specifications. This attempt to keep the system
in reliable operation has also failed. Because of these frequent break-
downs or partial stoppage of the system, it has been virtually impossible
to conduct a systematic and meaningful test program. At no time has the
machine run more than 9 hours consecutively without at least one partial
breakdown.
STATOTHR The roject monitor will Bpi accept the machine for final payment
until provides acceptable reliability in the operating components.
During the week of 17 November, the monitor will endeavor to define
the cause and initiate positive corrective action. This may, however,
involve addtional contract funds.
The last previous inspection was on 3 and 4 November at which time
the machine failed to exhibit sufficient reliability to justify acceptance.
Previous contract actions have been initiated to provide services
of the two contractor personnel at $6,500.00; extension of services at
$2,500.00; payment for extra materials required for installation at
March AFB in the amount of $656.00; and payment for new work on accumu-
lator and film spools at $23,848.00.
