Monthly Status Report #1
Period 1 December 1964 to 1 J&nuary1965

Description of Approach and Progress Du?rins the Reporting Period
A. Advanced Light Table. - The project has been scheduled and
engineering personnel selected to participate in the design and fabrication
of the three advanced light tables. Preliminary designs are being completed
for model fabrication. Designs will be submitted to the shop for:
1) A wooden model to illustrate 750 and 45? motions of
Table #1.
2) A model of the proposed film transport mechanism.
Model #1 above will be a wooden full scale model of light Table #1
Illustrating a. method of continuous adjustment of the table over the
specified tilt range.
Model #2 above will be a mock-up of the film transport mechanism.
The purpose of Model #2 is to determine optimum film transport speeds
and torques for the operating model and clew mode. Various gear ratios
will be tried while transporting a 500' roll of 9-1/2 inch film. The
presence of the customer is requested to assist in the determination of
the optimum gear ratios for the two speed transmission which will be
installed in the finished products. It is anticipated that the above models
will be completed by 25 January 1965 for customer inspection.
B. Light Source - Electrical - Preliminary investigations into the
High Frequency Power Supply (lave begun with emphasis now being placed
on primary light source selection. A cold cathode lamp was acquired
for investigation into using this type of light source. A preliminary
schematic of the basic power supply without the dimmer has been drawn
up. Two methods of dimming are being investigated. The first, which
varies the pulse duration of the input voltage to the light source, is the
proposed method at the moment. However, a basic problem having to do
with the delay and ionisation time of the recommended light source may
limit our operation in this mode. The second method bi dimming being
investigated is the utilization of a saturable core reactor in the secondary
of the output transformer. This method, acoording to one lamp vendor,
will give us the operating characteristics we require and may be the most
reliable.
2. Experimental Equipment Purchased or Constructed
None.
