A. THE EXPOSURE IS ADEQUATE AND THE RESOLUTION IS GOOD.
B. 9R SIDE: FILM METERING IS SLIGHTLY ERRATIC THROUGHOUT THE
MISSION. THE DATA CHAMBER IS CONSISTENTLY CUT OFF AT THE INBOARD
(UNTITLED) EDGE, RESULTING IN PARTIAL LOSS OF THE CLOCK FACE.
THIS MAY BE DUE TO SLIGHT MISTRACKING OF THE FILM. PROCESSING
STREAKS ARE PRESENT, HEAD TO TAIL. OF THESE, THE MOST APPARENT
ONE IS A CONTINUOUS STREAK LOCATED 3.40" FROM, AND PARALLEL TO,
