1. The Corning Glass Works is presently under contract t?produce
anq. 'Improved Rear Projection Screen Material. A number of sample Screens
have been produced and their physical characteristics have been measured.
Although these measurements, in most cases, exceed those of the best
commercially available rear projection screen material, a further aid
In evaluating the samples is _subjective testing by P.1. 'a. A suitablig
subjective test is now being designed by The Boeing Company.
2. Basically, the subjective testing will consist of random
comparison of pairs of the sample screens as well as comparison of each
of the sample screens with a Polacoat Type 1S-75 screen. In addition,
subjective evaluation will be made of the resolution characteristics
of the sample screens and the Polacoat Type LS-75 screen.
3. It is planned to start these tests on 3 June 1969, with comple-
tion scheduled by 27 June 1969. Approximately 138 man-hours of testing,
not necessarily consecutive, will be required. IEG and APSD/TSSG will
furnish the personnel for test subjects. Boeing personnel will conduct
the tests.

these tests. Specifieally, use of the Richards Film Viewer located in
