24 August 1966
SUBJECT: Visit
1. The purpose of this visit tol was to
investigate progress on the prototype briefing print enlarger and
the development of high magnification lenses for same. A second
purpose was to update the scheduling on these two tasks and to
plan for the first meeting at with liaison
representatives from DIA, Navy, and OSYT.
2. BPE (PAR-243)
a. The design drawings for the prototype BPE are nearly
completed.
The morning of 11 August was spent in examination and,
discussion of the details of these drawings. Since these are
schematic drawings rather than manufacturing drawings, I
requested NPIC be furnished a copy of them;
is looking into the request. One item of interest is the
range of the X and Y coordinate display. These are displayed
on counters of three digits for Y and four digits for X,
representing 999mm vertical and 1,799mm horizontal or about
4O" X 70.5". These measurements start from a null point and
may be read either plus or minus from that point.
Other items of design interest are lamp house cooling in
which individual streams of rapidly moving air are forced over
the surfaces of each filter and condensor and exhausted with
the vacuum air from the easel; the vacuum removal of fumes
from the bottom of the liquid gate to a toxic exhaust line;
and the capability of providing a focus shift in the lens
focus indicator. This is done by a slip coupling in the
gear train of the lens focusing ring on each lens. Deviations
from the normal is shown on a scale in mills. II has
presented a multiple choice for electrical service input --
(1) 208120 volts, 3 Phase (4-wire), 20 amp,
(2) 220 volts, 3 Phase (3-wire), 20 amp, or
(3) 220 volts, 1 Phase (3-wire), 30 amp;

In the first two choices it is proposed to run the main
service line to the vacuum easel blower and take off a single
phase line from there to the enlarger. It is believed that
number (1) is best for NPIC and will be checked out with
Logistics Branch. Power requirements for the joint procure-
ment contract will be determined by discussion with liaison
representatives at the first joint meeting.
b. I proposed six items for release to
multiple unit fabrication these are:
(1) Objective lenses
(2) Condenser elements
(3) Optical frame (main frame)
(4) Lower frame (shock mounted stand)
(5) Vacuum platen casting (easel)
(6) Platen carriage casting (easel mount)
The first two items have already been ordered in the total
required quantity, as there is no possibility of design change
in these items and the necessity for casting all lenses at
the same time. This action was concurred in. Approval of
release of the other four items was withheld until after the
first joint procurement meeting. This action will give'the
representatives a chance to see the model before release. It
is understood that this delayed approval will in no way delay
the prototype.
c. In discussions concerning the updating of the schedule
for PAR 243, a tentative date of the third week in April 1967
was set for delivery of the prototype BPE to NPIC. Tentative
delivery dates for the high magnification lenses and joint
procurement items was also established. will
periodically send copies of their update schedules o NPIC.
Many of the detail and assembly drawings for the prototype BPE
are well underway and a portion of the afternoon was spent
examining these drawings.
3. BPE Lens set 61-16OX (PAR 245) - The tentative delivery
date for these lenses is the last week in September 1967, which will
precede the first joint procurement delivery by about 30 days. It
is quite possible that the I rests of these lenses will
be made at NPIC.
4. Joint Procurement of BPE Contract It is
too early to do much in the way of schedule planning on these items.
However, it is expected that the first unit will be delivered about
the third week of October 1967 with subsequent units each 60 days
thereafter. The first joint meeting of representatives from DIA,
NRTSC, NASC, USAF, and NPIC is tentatively scheduled for the first
of October 1966, at which time delivery priorities will be established.
