MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director, NPIC
SUBJECT: Film Drying Activities at Westover Air Force Base
1. 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."
