Summary:
1.1 During testing, the linear phasolver driver pattern.,
was found to have deteriorated considerably due to
scratches and pattern flaking. Most of February
was spent repairing the pattern. Over 500 cuts or
flakes were touched'up. This damage had apparently
occurred during the testing portion prior to the
work stoppage in June, 1965. The scratches were
caused by dust, particles between the plates as they
moved on each other. (This dust had also caused
galling of the support feet as has been reported
.(Twenty-second Monthly Progress Report, 13 June 1965).
The pattern flaking is caused by poor vacuum deposition
practices. This is not a problem with our regular
vendor.
We are repeating the Co/Cv tests to determine if the
pattern has been repaired sufficiently well to continue
testing.

This is the twenty-third monthly progress report describing the
accomplishments during the first half of the report period. Due to
funding difficulties, all effort stopped during the latter half of
this period.
2. Survey of Accomplishments
? 2.1 Balance accuracy at 0.0027` gap was obtained on Pattern III, only.
This measurement was necessitated by the change in gap reported
in the previous monthly progress report.
3. Results of Testing
3.1 Balance accuracy - an absolute accuracy of +0.9 microns was
obtained within a single pole pair, as was predicted in the
previous report.
