Report of Technical Progress
I. Progress During October, 1960
1 November 1960 `
STATINTL
A significant amount of assembly and testing was accomplished
during October. The video system has been reworked and testing
is complete until final optical tests indicate possible trouble areas.
The digital system checkout is essentially complete and computability
with the "X" servo drive has been established. Checkout of the "Y"
index servo and register has been completed.
Fabrication and assembly for units 2, 3 and 4 has received
considerable effort. Items completed for all units were; high and
low frequency amplifiers, check-pulse amplifiers, focus current
regulators, 90 volt and 1.4 KV power supplies, pneumatic and
vacuum valves and transportapes. In addition, partial quantities of
the 20 KV power supplies, X and Y deflection amplifiers have been
completed. The Y index register for number 2 has been assembled
and bench checkout is 90% complete. The remaining 3 consoles
have been received and assembly of one for the next unit is in work.
Tape programs for 4:1 and 1:1 enlargements are complete, and
the tape is punched for the 4:1 enlargment.
II. Anticipated Progress During November
System integration will continue during November. Checkout
with tape commands is the next step and will take the better part of
the month to complete. The estimate of systems test conclusion must
be advanced to 1 February on the basis of presen comp e ion. Present
manpower effort will continue and assembly and tests for units 2, 3
and 4 will continue as a parallel effort.

Report of Technical Progress
I. Progress During September, 1960
The video system received a majority of the engineering attention
during September, and is complete and ready for final operation
with the remaining equipment. The "X", "Y" and Photomultiplier
Transport Servos in the Reader have been checked out in the
system. The "Y" Index Register has been incorporated and the
"loop" closed. This is working very effectively. Cabling is
complete. Several of the power supplies for Units 2, 3 and 4
were completed.
Comments of last month on cathode-ray tubes is applicable again
this month. The proposed meeting with on a STATINTL
STATINTL comparable tube to the has been delayed an win be held
this month. Since catho e-ray tubes are available for Unit 1, this
problem had been deferred.
III. Progress Anticipated During October, 1960
System checkout of the digital system will require most of the systems
engineering time in October. Parallel effort to integrate the video
system will be applied. The new synchronous motor for the Printer
Drive is scheduled for delivery and will be incorporated as soon as
received. The major effort will be applied to completing and
system testing Unit 1. Personnel not required for this will continue
work on the remaining assemblies and testing for Units 2, 3 and 4.
Preliminary program has been prepared for delivery to the
STATINTL Programmer. I Iwill produce tapes for enlargement and STATINTL
calibration in October.
