Dear George:
For your information, we have forwarded two copies of our
proposal and covering letter relating to the SAC requirements for
Systems 1 and 3 to Russ. The copies of the letter of transmittal
addressed to you and sent to Russ were unsigned, since the proposal
is basically being submitted to your organization.

year. It is difficult to estimate the portion of the work which will be
performed in the current year, but for purposes of this proposal we have
estimated that half of the work will be performed in 1956.
The delivery schedule proposed is our present estimate of the avail-
ability of this equipment. Deliveries scheduled for this year will be made
from equipment which is being manufactured for existing customer require-
ments. Systems will be available on the dates shown, but if they are shipped
to meet SAC requirements, a deferment of deliveries scheduled under
present requirements will be necessary. It is likely that this will not
present a problem on System 1 equipment, but only a limited number of
System 3 equipments will be available in the current year and will have to
be shipped based on the priority of the several requirements.
There was some discussion in the October 5 meeting of a possible
increase in the quantity of certain racks of ground duplicating and analysis
equipment. The present proposal was based on three complete systems;
but the unit prices of the individual racks are shown, and the quantities
can be adjusted at a later date for approximately the same unit costs.
The spare lists included with the proposal represent our recommenda-
tion for type and quantities of spares to be provided. Based on admittedly
limited operating experience, it seems advisable to take a conservative
approach to spare provisioning and to make increases in number and
quantities of items at a later time if operating experience indicates the
need for such change. The costs included in the proposal for spares
represents a total of the estimated costs of the itemized lists except in the
case of spares for the ground duplicating and analysis equipment. In this
case, an additional dollar amount has been included above the estimated
cost of the itemized list to provide for additional items of spare equipment
which we believe will need to be added to the present list on the basis of
initial operating experience.
The development of a new transistorized amplifier and power supply
for System 1 was discussed at the October 5 meeting, and work is currently
under way on such a development. However, the amplifiers and power
supplies proposed in this cost estimate are the present tube-type units.
The present version will be shipped under this requirement until the tran-
sistorized version becomes available from production.
