B. Evaluation of the Concerned Office :
On 23 April 1957, the Special Assistant to AD/Z,R stated the
following:
r
STATINTL
"The film viewing stereoscope described in the attached sug-
gestion sheet was developed as stated. At present the prototype
instrument is being used to a somewhat limited degree. Other
Instruments of this type, with refinements as indicated by exper-
ience with the prototype, would undoubtab]?y be used more extensively
by D/(W0
"There is a definite need for such an instrument, as an aid in
stereoscopic examination of roll film and positive transcies o
"The stereoscope provides a means of viewing roll film
stereoscopically, with the added benefit of 6x i.fication as
well as 1:1 viewing. There is no instrument is D,GP at this time
which will perform this taisk4
"There is no way of determining, without extensive study, the
amount of money, if any, which will be saved by the use of this .
stereoscope. Furthermore, there is no ready or accurate meens of
caqxwing the Government development and construction cost of this
stereoscope with any similar instrument which is presently available
through commercial channels 4
In any evert, one of the missions of D/(R' is the development
of such mechanical aids as is given above and therefore it is felt
that the employee is not eligible for an award on this suggestion a
Patent consideration is another matter beyond the scope of this
evaluation."
DD/I (Admin0) agreed to no award as this
idea is considered to be line of duty. (7 PUY 1957)
