During August 1971, the environmental air conditioning system
for the installation site was stabilized at a level that permitted the
work to proceed. - This situation was achieved on August 27, 1971 .
There is still a room temperature gradient in excess of the design
tolerance specified for the Stereocomparator, however at the present time
this is not delaying the Dinstallation effort.
The deleterious effects of the past cycles of excess temperature
and humidity are being corrected as critical situations arise. The
corrosion on the exterior surface of the Stereocomparator has been cleaned
off and it is hoped that the treatment used will ,arrest further corrosion for
a reasonable length of time.
The effects of dried condensate have been cleaned from the
accessible surfaces of the optical system and the optical system has
been realigned.
Some difficulty is being experienced byuwith intermittent
logic system failures resulting from the past high temperature and
humidity conditions in the electronic cabinets. The full extent of this
problem can only be assessed in retrospect after all the problems have
become apparent and have been corrected. In reviewing the situation
at t e end of the month, the level of lost time attributable toe, this cause
is markedly reduced over earlier periods, however some lost time is still
being logged and continuing effects from the high humidity can be expected.
