1. was visited on 13 May 1957 for the prime
purpose of investigating the pompany's third request for a time
extension on delivery of the video recorders being developed
under Work Order No. 4. As reported on 23 April 1557, the con-
tractor's mechanical design left much to be desired. Since that
time, many of the deficiencies have been corrected; however,
satisfactory design of the amplifier battery holder remained a
problem which would require a few more days to solve. The three
units nearing completion will be submitted as engineering models
with a list of Changes which the contractor plans to include on
the production models.
2. Other work accomplished during the visit follows:
a. Return of a length of the 600 me. antenna east for
rework. This was accomplished during the visit
and returned.
b. The contractor was again asked for cost estimates
on Change Order No. 1 to Work Order No. 8, Work
Order No. 9, and Work Order No. 10. (The latter
was received during this writing.)
c. Work Order No. 11 for the fabrication of 25 video
amplifiers was assigned.
d. Discussed the possible designs for a 100 me. antenna
capable of being packaged in an 18 x 18 x 12 inch
container. Designs considered were the cavity
resonator, the loaded stub with reflector, the loop
antenna, and the circular dipole. It was decided
that the loaded stub antenna with the modified
corner reflector would be the best bargain for
maxims gain and, early delivery. However, the
cavity resonator dhows promise of a Mgher gain
but will reqpire one to two weeks additional study
before adaptability could be ascertained.

range
were delivered to on 14 mar 1957 for completion
of measurements and cutting for pouch packaging.
