1D. DESCRIPTION OF INTELLIGENCE REOUIREMENT~AND DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT (Continue on addi-
tionaL page if required)
Available dryers 'are not designed to handle the soft emulsions of color
materials and therefore require slow, careful op~~ration. This study will
include investigation of all advanced drying techniques and will result
in breadboard demonstrations and reports with design parameters for an
advanced Color Film-Paper Dryer far future NPIC use.

1.1 PY~ii?'OSE: This document co::tainu the requirements, for a
Gavv~::ment :;ponso-red study and dov~:i.opment projc;ct covering the investi-
~w~ion of advanced methods of drJri:.~', photographic color sheet films.

i'ully applied to color films due ~:,~.- uhe sc:~`~ness of the color erriulsions
and the t4:~aercy of these emulsions to b~:corne e:KCessively "tacky" during
the drying, process.
1.2.1 CUR: El`i' ?ROCLDi;~r:. Cut sheet color films , both
transparency and nc~;ative materials, ara p:resen.-cly dried irl a
'drying c~ramber or cabinet.: `.~'he i.'ilr,:s a-re usually pl;~.ccd in film
Hangers in the drying cabinet and hot air is circulated around?
the film. This method is tune consur..in~ aad -does not dry the
~~ ilm in a quality fashion, t'r~at is , does :not ' d-ry the ~ ilra so
ghat ;sere is no eviaence of water marks, abrasions, scratches,
image distortion,apeelin, curl, fading, color shifts, mottling,
etc.
2.0 COVC~P~h
2.1 y?~iaPOS~.: The 'proposed. pro~.ram Trill encompass a thorough. inves-
~igation and analysis of all advanced techniques ire the area of filr2
;:.:Tying. Trese techniques will be evaluace.d and. the most practical and
fusible rnathod of color sheet fiira drying will be selected. Bas~:d on
t:.e selected technique a prototype co:Lor fil;n dryer will then be developed
which will Hat only dry color sheet film -rapidly but which will. also
overcome the quality defects specified in Par 1..2.1.
2.2 SCO?E: The total effort, as ou.:linec, above, will be divided
into two separate but interrelated phase; continuance from the first.
phase to tre second phase will be depenaen~t on the succzssful accomplish-
ments of Phase I. ,Proposals, salic.:_ted at this time are restricted to
the tasks outlined ih .Phase I.
