Westover is in the process of developing a high-speed film dryer using vacuum principles. They believe they can operate at 200 feet/minute or better. They have demonstrated the feasibility and are now negotiating with firm, for the fabrica- tion of an experimental model. They feel at this technique might be satisfactory for color and cut sheets, but no investigation has been made as to color capabilities. 2. Westover is also monitoring several efforts in thermal- microwave film drying. Again, their objectives are for high speed, black-and-white capabilities. This technique might also be appli- cable to color and cut sheet, but more investigation is needed. The color capability is unknown. 3. These two techniques are included in our proposed "Color Film Dryer Study." NOV 25X1A 4. Recommend approval of this p oject as soo "/s possible.
