Earth curvature To be compensated for by an adjustable radius easel
with sufficient range to. cover the altitude range
specified. Each easel setting shall require an
adjustment of the lens focus cam to reduce resolution
degradation. The easel adjustments shall be calibrated
for convenient settings.
Focus cam A three-dimensional lens focus cam shall be provided
to adjust the lens for sharp focus throughout the
70? sweep range to compensate for the change in
projection distances resulting from the adjustable
easel. The focus cam will allow 5 dogree overrun
on either side providing for optimum focus through-,
out an f30? sweep range. However, the resolution
requirement of 50 14mm shall apply to the primary,
sweep angle of ? 35 . The surface of the cam shall
be generated by straight lines connecting three
calibrated contour planes but it will not be Locally
contoured to correct for any minor lens or optical
flaws. The three calibrated contours shall corre-
spond to the minimum, nominal, and maximum altitudes.
Primary tilt range + 10 degrees to + 20 degrees
?
Total tilt range m 5 degrees to + 20 degrees. The equipment will
have the physical capability of accommodating this
total tilt range, but the resolution requirements
(80 to 50 1/mm) and accuracy requirements (0,010
inch at the easel) will apply only within the
primary tilt range (+ 10 degrees to + 20 degrees).
Easel length and input format will be based on . . 5
degrees roll to produce the full print; however,
the fiducial offset will accommodate ? 10 degrees
roll.
Resolution The resolution capability shall be 80 1/mm at nadir
across the width of format and no less than 50 1/mm
at any point on the format. These values are
referred to the negative scale and printed on dupli-
cating film (emulsion type 5427). The resolving
capability shall apply for any setting of the easel
tilt from + 10 ? to + 20? combined with the calibrated
settings of easel curvature and associated lens focus
cam as specified. The design goal is to maintain
this resolution over the total physical tilt range
from - 50 to + 20 0 and for all settings of easel
curvature.
?
Accuracy The accuracy of the output shall be 0,010 inch and
shall approach a design goal of 0.005 inch with no
error greater than 0.010 inch. The accuracy will
apply within the limits of the 50 1/mm resolution
requirement as specified under "Resolution",

mui focus position; however, the resolution and
accuracy specified under "Resolution" and "Accuracy"
shall apply only at the optimum foc?is position.

Copy transport Automatic - The film transport 4ystem shall be
designed to prevent damage to the 9. inch wide
output film. The capacity shall be 500 feet. No
take-up cassettes shall be provided.
Exposure control An automatic means shall be provided for control-

adiustment s to alloy the operator to align the lamp
filament in its proper relationship to the condensing
lens system. A method or means (possibly in the form
of a small screen which would snap onto the bottom
