C. 20020 Gentlemen: Reference: April 24, 1964 Three Advanced Light Tablee pretation is pleased to submit this proposal to design several advanced photo interpretation light tables in response to your proposal request. These light tables will represent an improvement over the tools presently employed by photointerpretation. personnel and emphasize the following factors: 25X1A 1) Lase of viewing and use by a stylized uman engineered package. 2) Increased packaged illumination end a light level control by utilising a special high quality fluorescent lamp and high frequency excitation. 3) Elimination of stroboscopic or flicker effect by high frequency pulse duration modulation. 4) A simple but rugged mechanical design. 5) An easy loading system having positive support and eliminating the adapters previously required to handle various types of spools. A superior mechanical film drive with magnetic clutch* directional control and maintenance of the film tension. 7) Elimination of film scratching by clamping the film against the table only when not in motion, the film being transferred directly from roll to roll when it is in motion. 13) Automatic masking of the light in the unused portion of the U reduce eye strain.

Item I Item II Item III An advanced Tilt Top Light Table An advanced Film Viewing Light Table with a Translating Microscope Carriage An advanced Film Viewing Light Table with Translating Microscope Carriage and High Intensity Tracking Light Sources A cost analysis breakdown is attached which considers the Item. I, and IU outlined above, as a combined design problem and each as a single independent design problem. You have requested two costs; those for the feasibility study and those for an operational prototype. It is our opinion that the specifications outlined in your technical exhibit are entirely feasible. Thus, our costs are for the engineering design and fabrication of an operational prototype of each light table. The cost for fabricating additional tables or a large quantity of the tables after the design is completed would be much lees than those provided because the initial tables include the engineering labor. The proposed light tables will be delivered over even months period. Item I will be delivered at the end of five months; Item U at the end of mix months; and Item Ul at the end of seven months. As an independent design problem, any one of them could be supplied in five months. In addition to 13 years of experience in developing and electro-optical equipments has an active inter. pretation section, performing data collection and evaluation studies. Thus, we believe we are particularly well qualified to comprehend and solve the problems associated with the proposed advanced film viewing equipments. A few biographical sketches representative of personnel presently available to accomplish this work are attached. Exact assign- ments, however, are contingent on the contracts received during this proposal evaluation period. 25X1A We believe you will find the personnel employed are particularly well qualified to conduct the proposed program. me varied education and experience of our staff of engineers. photointerpreters, humeri factors, and industrial design perisonnel will permit us to produce an equipment that will be far superior contemporary tables.
