dG^ TEBS R CEI/ D - 050014-3 STATINTL STATINTL As you can see therefore there does not seem to be any difficulty in this regard as quoted us the following prices:- reletype machine with a 12" carriage & 12 solenoids M H " but with 44 STAT STATINTL The 12 solenoid machine supplies numbers plus a choice of 2 characters, the 44 solenoid machine supplies characters and numbers. Should supplementary characters be required such as "remote shift" or "remote ribbon shift" about Lstg30 should be added to the above nriaas_ STATINTL Furthermore it should be clear that we should receive the machine and execute the necessary modifications without indicating the exact date of shipment until we shall know what the client exactly desires. To this end we are enclosing herewith a questionnaire which we kindly ask you to return to us duly filled. STATINTL To the above indicated prices Il will have to add a percen- tage to cover the commercial expenses, modifications, control and allignment in accordance with our own circuits which will further increase the cost by approxi- mately STAT STATINTL As to the possibility of usisg``a tape punching machine we beg to oonfirm that it will be impossible for us to obtain said machine and therefore, should it be neoagsary, it will,be advisable that it should be LL ,fit to' de &i7 5 Approve -- -----"",- STATINTL Decrass 'tevadvv b NIMA/DOD STATINTL Approved Fd elease 2002/07/10 : CIA-RDP78BO47MM000900050014-3 Explanatory Notes on Printout Selector Data Sheet. This data sheet is intended to give a complete specification for a printout selector unit and it is important that all relevant sections should be completed in full. There are five.sections dealing with the printout or punchout machine. These cover respectively, electric typewriters, digital printers, tape reperforators, teleprinters and card punches. Usually only one of these five sections will ap l to any particular equipment. Whether the printout device isssupplied b the ap- propriate section should be completed. erever possible e solenoid vol- tage should be made 24 as this often enables existing power supplies to be utilised.

In addition to specifying the order in which the digital informa- tion from X and Y channels is to be printed out, all miscelaneous characters must be included. It is usual to separate groups of digits by one or more space characters and a typical termination would involve the symbols, c riagee r' 1 r n, f rn} lfni eed in the case of punched tape. It may also be d.esira~ bye for some purposesnclude letter shift and figure shift characters if the infor- mation on the tape is subsequently to be used for producing a printed page on a teleprinter* The last section of the data sheet deals with miscellaneous informa- tion. It is necessary to know the maximum total solenoid current required by the printout device so that this can be allowed for. In some oases, power for the solenoids is provided by the Cust the printout device. Alterna- tively it has to be provided from the equipment and this must be stated. STATINTL The printout cycle is normally initiated by a push button except where an on the fly printout is involved and in this case the start signal would be in the form of an electrical pulse. A runout or tape feed button can be provided in addition to that normally fitted to tape punches and a common zero reset button can also be provided which will zero channels simultaneously in addition to the-._-_ individual zero reset buttons fitted to the counter units. It is usually con- venient to have these buttons in the region of the measuring machine rather than associated with the counter cabinet. These buttons can be provided on the end of flying leads suitable for mountin on the Customer's machine. The length of lead required should be stated*- I STATINTL In the case of static printout, the counting circuitry may be left live or inhibited during the printout cycle. The decision whether or not to inhibit depends on whether vibration is liable to be present and whether for the particular application it is more serious to'lose an occasional digit or to have an occasional printout' containing a serious error due to movement of the counter part way through the sequenoe. Where a, r'store is provided, it is not necessary to inhibit the counter and in s ass"~, it should be stated whether printout required n the g1r.

Approved For"RWease 2002/07/10 : CIA-RDP78BO474 Some printout selectors are supplied with an assembly of manual buttons or decade switches for automatically adding serial numbers or other additional information to the printout cycle. Where these are supplied, it is necessary to know the location of the panel which, in some cases, is built in to the measuring machine. Cable lengths from selector unit to printout device and from selector unit to manual panel must be specified. The cabinet to be used is normally decided depending on the complexity of the equipment.
