 STATINTL Previous mention was made of the possibility that the
lnductosyn might be substituted for the film index transducer. ina decision was
reached to select this alternate and the Inductosyn is presently scheduled for delivery
? 0 about the middle of March.
STATINTL The problem in procurement of the
reporting has been satisfactorily resolved.
Since assignment of a new engineer to the video and sweep circuit, redesign
of the latter has been completed and it has been bread-boarded and tested using the
engineering model circuitry. The schedule for completion of this effort, as amend-
ed by the last report, appears to be practical. STATINTL

One of our vendors failed to produce a satisfactory transformer. It was
deemed desireable to cancel this order completely in lieu of a new design at. some
added cost. This design has been completed and is presently undergoing tests. An
additional problem still to be solved in this area is to determine whether the new de--
cign can be applied in the relay control system.
The automatic dodging circuitry represents the only major function remaining
to be designed. Preliminary investigation indicates that a magnetic memory will
provide the best storage for dodging data on retrace. No insurmountable problems
are visualized in this area.
During the month of March it is anticipated that assembly of the reader will be
completed and testing will commencte, The printer should be nearing completion
around the middle of April. Progress on the control console is expected to advance
more rapidly during the next few weeks as a result of the application of extra effort
to this unit. All purchased parts for the first control console should be on order by
the end of March.
