Attention: Contracting Officer
Subject:
Gentlemen:
The above subject contract dated 19 May 1964 calls for one each
Variscan Mark II to be delivered on or before September IS,
1964. Our Production Department has informed me that a delay
in shipment has occured and the unit is now scheduled for ship-
ment from on December 6, 1964.
The cause for this delay has been the changes and modifications
we have made to the Variscan,to improve and increase its quality.
The areas of vibration isolation and improvements in the illumin-
ation and projection lens systems required the majority of the new
materials and machining time.
Our production schedule is now quite firmand we do not antici
pate any further delays.

Very truly yours,

SUBJECT : Change of Scope of "Variscan Rear Projection Film
Viewer" contract 25X1A
25X1A
1. The EPIC has contracted with
for a Variscan Rear Projection Film Viewer for evaluation purposes.
Since the contract was negotiated, M has offered a variable speed
film traversing (across the width of the film) option at an increased
cost of if installed prior to delivery.
2. The fixed traversing speed of the Richardson Viewers has
always been considered an equipment limitation by the operating
personnel. On the Variscan the problem will be even more pronounced
with a fixed speed than the Richardson Viewers since the Variscan
has a greater magnification range.
3. The Photo Analysis Group was consulted as to the desirability
of having variable traversing speed and officially requested that it
be incorporated in the equipment. 25X1A
4. It is, therefore, recommended that Contract with
for a Variscan Mark II be modified to
include a variable speed on both axes of film movement at an increased
cost of bringing the total contract price up to

Attention: Contracting Office
Reference:
Gentlemen:
Attached are the signed copies of the above referenced contract.
It has been brought to our attention by your technical repfe-
sentative that the Variscan Mark II requested should contain
variable speed on both axes. Our standard production model
which we quoted to you has variable speed on only one axis.
a'he addition of variable speed on the second or lateral axis
Is a standard addition and is priced at when in-
stalled at the time of manufacture. We are rzoccedirv:f on
this order and are requesting a modification in the amount of
1==to provide the variable speed.

VARISCAN CAPTIONS
Picture 1 STATOTHR
The new Variscan - a versatile instrument for photointerpretation.
Picture 2
The Variscan control panel has a joystick for 2-axis image movement;
image rotation control; pushbutton magnification changing from 3X to
30X; continuously variable intensity; and a clip-board writing area for
notes and records.
Picture 3
At the rear of the instrument, a variable-width film transport holds and
drives films from 35mm to 9 1/2 inches in width. The lateral motion
control carries the entire transport in the "across-the-film" direction.
Picture 4
This multiple-exposure photograph shows the film transport and lateral
stage rotating about the optical axis (vertical) to turn the image on the
viewing screen.
Picture 5
A 4-lens assembly switches in projection lenses for 3X, 6X, 12X
and 30X viewing. The 12X lens is in position over the vacuum platen.
Above it, in order, are 30X, 6X and 3X.
Picture 6
In this time exposure, the 12X lens is swinging up and back as the
6X lens comes down into viewing position.
Picture 7
In the base of the Variscan are the air-cooled lamp housing and con-
denser elements-shown here set for 6X. A front-surface mirror (at
right) directs light upward through the platen.
Picture 8
When magnification is changed, the appropriate condenser elements
slide into position in the light path. Here three intermediate lenses
concentrate the light for 30X viewing.
Picture 9
At 3X, the operator can view and scan an entire 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" frame
of aerial film.
Picture 10
The operator switches to 6X and centers an area of interest.

Picture 11
The same view at 12X - intensity, position and rotation controls help
the operator establish optimum viewing conditions.
Picture 12
At 30X the full detail in the photograph is visible, with a resolution of
180 lines per millimeter on the film.

NARRATIVE REPORT
INTERIM fJ FINAL
This contract is behind schedule, therefore, it is requested
that the contracting officer take the appropriate action to
establish a new contract completion date. The contractor has
verbally informed me that he is being held up by vendor
problems but hopes to be able to ship the instrument by 15 Mar.
The overall delay is due to redesign of the film reel holding
mechanism, platen mechanism, focus mechanism, and adding varittble
film traversing speed controls. These delays are considered
justified in view of the fact that we will receive an improved
version of the Variscan.

Variable Width Film Readers and Variscan Viewers was reviewed at

review of the work is doing in the stellar comparator field.
25X1A
The first six production Varyscans,thad just been dleivered prior
to my visit, and none of the machines under construction were in operating
condition, so I was unable to evaluate a working model. The major changes
in the production model over the prototype were a completely redesigned
cabinet of far greater rigidity, and substitution of a mechanical
platen clamp instead of the vacuum platen. This platen differs from the
Richardson platens in that both asses move instead of one and the total
opening is 5/8", which allows complete freedom of the film during
scanning and slewing. The ?platemare so adjusted that whhn closed, they
cause a minimum of focus shift. Ingeneral, I was impressed with the
production engineering results which make the Varyscan production model
more functional then the prototype. Delivery of the NPIC Viewer is
scheduled for the latter part of October.
As far the Film Reader, there were a number of minor defeciencies
which require correction and two major problems areas.

There was considerable vibration of the image as projected on the screen,
and the freon was not completely dried from the film when rewound at
at high speed. In addition another major problem exists in providing
an acceptable toxic vent. I have since been informed that they feel
they have solved the vibration problem by reinforcing the cabinet. At
present they are still working on solving the film drying and venting
problems. It is possible that both of these problems could be solved
eye simutaneously if we were willing to accept a higher freon loss.
NO film reeolution readings or light intensity values were taken due
to the vibration and uncomplete optical alignment. The 48x lens presently
in the machine was considered unacceptable by1111 and alorder
has been p4.aced for a new lens.
25X1A '
In general, the reader has the highest quality projection image viewed
this far by the undersigned. Resolution appeared good as far as could
be determined and their was an abeolute minimum of color fringing
apparent. The liquid gate appeared to function well and their was not
apparent flutter of the image. The transport worked well, however, several
of the minor correction requested were in the transport controls. The
estimated completion date is presentlithe end of October unless additional
problems are encountered in the venting aspect.
25X1A
Financially ?has overrun the contract price. They have been requested
to prepare a report totthe contracting officer on the actual costs involved
and the reason for not reporting at the 80% mark. This should be forthcoming
shorthly.
25X1A
In addition was given a complete briefing on the work
is doing in the stellar comparator and automatic image centering field.
I did not sit in on these discussions so far addtional details see
report in TID.

STAFF STUDY
PROCUREMENT OF A VARYSCAN FILM VIEWER
25X1A
To obtain on a. priority basis a Varyscan Film Viewer from
for operational test and evaluation.
FACTS:
25X1A
as an in-house effort a rear projection film
4'1 roll film in lengths of up to 1,000 feet
and 30X on a. 30" by 30" screen. At 3X a.
the
the screen.
DISCUSSION:
25X1A
has developed
viewer that will handle 35 mm through
with magnifications of 3X, 6X, 12X
by 9i" image area is projected on
The Varyscan was developed in response to requirements by SAC and AMS for
a. rear projection viewer that could project the entire 9-1-' wide format at a
minimum of 3 power as well as other magnifications with minimum damage to the
film. Except for the 3X projection, the requirements given were identical
to the Richardson 707 specifications. The requested 200 foot lambret lighting
requirement was not achieved in this instrument due to the considerably higher
costs of going to more powerful light sources than the presently available
tungsten lamps.
The prototype viewer was inspected at El by the undersigned prior to its
being shipped to SAC for demonstration and evaluation. In general, the Vary-
scan has better film handling and optical qualities than the presently avail-
able Richardson Viewers and approximately 20% more screen illumination. The
outstanding feature is of course the 3X magnification which has previously
never been achieved in an instrument of this type..
25X1A
Presently MI has a contract for six Varyscans for SAC and a. potential of
35 more for SAC and 15 for AMS out of fiscal year 1964 funds. Both the SAC
and AMS personnel that have evaluated the Varyscan have indicated that they
prefer it over the Richardson 707 design.
CONCLUSION: 25X1A
The IIIIVaryscan has better overall performance characteristics than the
presently available Richardson Viewers and may be as good or better than the
Richardson 707 V under development which will not have the 3X magnification.
It would therefore be desirable to obtain one of the Varyscans for evaluation
purposes.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
25X1A
25X1A
25X1AIt is recommended that the NPIC contract for one
Varyscan at a cost not to exceed Since production costs have
not been determined, it is felt that a, fixed price redeterminable or incentive
contract should be negotiated and on an 11111 Confidential Basis It is further
recommended that the contract be negotiated with on a. priority basis before
any additional orders are consummated by SAC. This is felt necessary so that
we receive the viewer in time to evaluate it with the Richardson 707V prototype
