DESCRIPTION This table provides an I l'? by 40" illuminated area for use in viewing 9-1/2" to 2-3/4?? (i,e, , 70mm.) film inclusive, or dual rolls of either 70mm or 5" film. concurrently, A movable microscope carriage affords trans- lation of a microscope with a graduated microscope movement and tracking light sources over the viewing area, The table can be horizontally tilted for operator convenience. Approved For Release 2001/05/11 : CIA-RDP78B04747A001400030036-5 Approved For Release 2001/05/11: CIA-RDP786~ 7 f q 400030036-5 II. SETUP OF LIGHT TABLE FOR OPERATION A. SUPPORT OF THE LIGHT TABLE The table must be leveled on.a rigid support, Leveling will ac- complish the freest operation of the microscope carriage; the rigid support will make possible the most accurate results when making a measurement, Leveling of the table is accomplished by adjusting the height of the four leveling pads (#1 Figure 1). Loosen the screw (#2 Figure 1), raise the table to the desired point, and tighten the screw securely, B. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE LIGHT TABLE An increase in height of two nc.hes can be gained by lowering the leveling pads (#1 Figure 1), (See above paragraph for height adjustment. ) C. TILTING THE LIGHT TABLE The table can be tilted from 00 to 8? with respect to the horizontal by proper adjustment of the leveling pads (#I Figure 1), For maximum tilt the front leveling pads must be fully retracted and the rear pads fully ex- tended. (For adjustment of the pads, see paragraph U, A. above. ) CAUTION: When the table is tilted, the microscope carriage is free to roll if the Y?-Y brakes (#3 Figure 1) are not locked, The microscope carriage will be damaged if it falls free and strikes the stops (#4 Figure 1). D. APPLYING POWER TO THE LIGHT TABLE 1. Connect the Master Control Panel (#I Figure 1) to the Master Control Panel (#2 Figure 2) and to the proper connector in the side of the light table, 2. Connect the .120-volt 60mcyclepower cords (#3 Figure 2) to the light table and the power line. WARNING: THIS TABLE TO BE USED ONLY WITH 120 VAC 60-- C YCLE WITH-i A 3RD GROUND WIRE, BE SURE THE TABLE IS ALWAYS ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED; Approved For Release 2001/05/11 : CIA-RDP78BO4747AO01400030036-5 Approved For Release 2001/05/11 : CIA-RDP78B04747A001400030036-5 STATINTL 3.

Remove the center film 'arms (#3 Figure 5), if installed, 5. The film spools may now be loaded by retracting the spring loaded spool holders "t#4 Figure 5)0 CAUTION: When Viewing 9, 5" Film, The Direction Switch (#5 Figure 3) Must Be In The (Same Direction). D. LOADING OTHER SIZE FILM This table is designed. to accommodate film. widths ranging from 70m.m to 9e 5", However, when film sizes other than those mentioned above are viewed, the operator must be thoroughly familiar with the operation of the table and the damage that can be done. ',.f certain earlier criteria are not followed, The Master Control Console .must be used with the table as all programming emanates from it, A. brief description of the programming functions is as follows: CAUTION: NEVER HAVE THE POWER PLUG CONNECTED TO THE LIGHT TABLE WITHOUT THE MASTER CONTROL CON- SOLE BEING CONNECTED! ! ! 1, The "Power" switch is used. to turn the table ON and OFF (#3 Figure 3). 2, The "Bottom Group" switch controls the bottom film trans porting system (#4 Figure 3). -5T Approved For Release 2001/05/11 : CIA-RDP78BO4747AO01400030036-5 Approved For Release 2001/05/11: CIA-RDP78~Y,fj 400030036-5 3, The "Direction" switch controls and indicates the mode of film. travel (#5 Figure 3), 4, The "Top Group" switch controls the top film transporting system (#7 Figure 3), The film transporting mechanism allows the following options: 1. Two rolls of 70m.m or 5" film can be transported in the same direction, 2. Two rolls of 70m.m or 50? film can be transported in opposite directions, 3. Transporting the top roll of film. while the bottom roll of film does not move, 4. Transporting the bottom. roll of film. while the top roll of film does not move. Located immediately below the programming switches are another set of controls for controlling the High=Intensity Tracking Light Sources. "WHEN FIRST TURNING ON THE HIGH-INTENSITY TRACKING LIGHT SOURCES, ALLOW 5 MINUTES OF WARM-UP TIME PRIOR TO OPERATION." The lower alphabetical character always controls the lower numerical number on the Selector switch (i, e4 , Selector switch position 1-3, then Dim.m.er A controls lamp number 1 and Dimmer B controls lamp number 3). When the Selector switch is positioned on 2, then Dimmer A controls the intensity, On the vertical portion of the panel the controls for applying braking action to the supply reels are located. The controls have been labeled to correspond with their respective functions when the Control Console is facing the operator and the operator is facing the viewing surface of the Light Table from the long axis. The control labeled "DIM" is used to vary the intensity of the large light source. A clockwise rotation increases the lamp intensity. WHEN FIRST TURNING ON THE TABLE, ALLOW 5 MINUTES OF WARM-UP TIME PRIOR TO OPERATION, Approved For Release 2001/05/11 : CIA-RDP78B04747A001400030036-5 Approved For Release 2001/05/11: CIA-RDP78lQ47~47~4,Q~L1 - 400030 F. FUSES There are four electrical fuses protecting the Light Table. 1, The main power fuse us a 3 Amp, 125 V fuse and is located adjacent to the Power Connector on the back side of the table housing, 2. There is a 1 /2 Amp, 100 VDC internal line fuse. It is located on the back of the Control Console adjacent to the Control Cable connector, 3. The High-Intensity Tracking Light Sources are protected by two 1 Amp, 120 VAC fuses located inside the Control Console and mounted on a L.ttlefuse terminal board, CAN: THIS TABLE CONTAINS HIGH VOLTAGE AND SHOULD BE SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY, G. VIEWING SURFACE SHADES The Light Table is equipped with shades. The function of the shades is to mask out the area of light source not being used, When film is viewed which does not cover the entire viewing surface, the shades (#5 Figure 5) may- be drawn by loosening the thumb screws (#6 Figure 5) and sliding the shades to the desired position. When two rolls of film are viewed, the center strip between the two rolls of film. may be shaded by using the center shade (#1 Figure 5), This can be done by loosening the thumb screws (#2 Figure 5) and sliding the shade to the desired position and then tightening the thumb screws, H. FILM TRANSPORTING MECHANISM The film drive mechanism. is hand operated by means of either of two cranks (#9 Figure 1) on the front side, Although the film drive mechanism. is hand operated, the clutch- brake units operate only when power is applied to the desired unit. A clock- wise rotation of one of the front hand wheels (#9 Figure 1) will transport film from. left to right when operating with the "DIRECTION" switch in the ~..- same mode, When the "DIRECTION" switch is changed " , the Approved For Release 2001/05/11 : CIA-RDP78B04747A001400030036-5 Approved For Release 2001/05/11: CIA-RDP78B0gf4ffiYP0030036-5 direction of the top roll of film. changes as indicated by the direction markers on the switch, The complete film direction can be reversed by reversing the direction of the hand crank to counterclockwise. A two-speed mechanical gear shift (#10 Figure 1) is provided to switch the film. transporting mechanism. from. low speed to high speed. When the gear shift rod (#10 Figure 1) is "pulled out, " the film. drive mechanism is in the "fast" mode.

All microscope adapters are mounted to the carriage assembly by slipping the adapters over the post on the Microscope Carriage Assembly and securing the adapter to the Carriage Assembly by tightening hand screw #4 Figure 4. B. AUXILIARY FILM FLATTENER An auxiliary plate glass film flattener has been added under the Microscope Carriage Assembly to remove the camber from the film under the viewing area of the microscope. The film. should be placed under this glass flattener and on top of the viewing surface glass. "WHEN TRANSPORTING FILM, THE PLATE GLASS MUST BE RAISED OFF THE 3 'i:L M. `P C. HIGH-INTENSITY TRACKING LIGHT SOURCES Slaved to the Microscope Carriage Assembly are 3 High-Intensity Tracking Light Sources. The linkage between the 2 subassemblies is designed such that the track light sources can be positioned beneath the separate objectives and/or rhom.biods of a micro stereoscope or beneath the single objective of a stereom.icroscope in conventional or 900 viewing modes. -9- Approved For Release 2001/05/11 : CIA-RDP78B04747A001400030036-5 Approved For Release 2001/05/11: CIA-RDP78B04 030036-5 V.
