1212-1 General Data Summary 

Highlights 

1. Film Load - The Fwd Record consisted entirely of 1414 (29 J 992') 

while the Aft contained three film types: 1414 (24,335 1 ), 50-255 

(2000') and 50-130 (2000 '). 

2. Stack Measurements - Stack radius measurements, as requested 

by the customer, were taken at 4 places along the inboard and 

outboard edges of both records. 

3. 50-130 Fog - Inadvertently dllring presplice, the lR Edge Sensor 

was left on after the transition from film type 1414 to 50-130. The 

oversight was caught but not before 28 inches of Frame L, Op 022 

had received a narrow band of fogging. 

4. Y -6 Machine Cut - A machine cut was made on the Fwd Record in the 

lOR of Op 104 due to an electrical problem which inhibited optical 

titling. The problem was traced to Power House #7 and corrected. 

5. Film Creases - 16 (R-831) film creases (13 to 30 inches in length) 

were noted an the Fwd Record. This anomaly occurred only on film 

piece 71 and then again on the tail flash. lnves tigation is continuing. 

6. A new viscous developer delivery system was used on Y-5 with no 

problems. 

7. B&W leolor - The Rainbow #104 was used to print all internegatives 

in place of the Frarninghams, whic h have been moved from L. P. to 

H.E. 

- One Op/Part shipped as a dual (DP: Medium & Dark). 

8. Noforn O. Neg. - A new Noforn O. Neg handling procedure was instituted 

on this mission. The major differeilce was that the Noforn O. Neg was 

8tO red in the Preliminary Evaluation Area (I nstead of MAA) under the 

control of the Special Evaluation Honcho. 

9. In-Line Evaluation - A new In-Line Evaluation Procedure was instituted 

on this mission. 

10. Damaged Film Reports - Twenty-five B&W damaged film. reports were 

made out this mission. Most (18) were due specifically to wrinkled 

edges.

_to R. W. Stowe, 10 August 1976). 

a. The Fwd Record was cut in the lOR of Op 104 due to the 

inability to optically title. The problem was found to be 

electrical and was traced to a burned out insulator in 

Po we r Hous e #7. 

b. 16 intermittent film creases (13 to 30 inches long) were 

noted in film piece 71 (946' long). This anomaly also 

occurred in the tail flash. The rest of the Fwd Record 

was processed without incident. Investigation of the cause 

is underway. 

2. AFT Record (Y-5) - No processing problems. 

3. A new delivery system for viscous developer on Y -5 was 

used without incident. 

4. Gray Spots - None noted on Aft Record and only minor occurrences 

noted on Fwd Record.

1. Process monitor data was recorded but since the manual 

marker was inoperative and no written records were kept, 

it is impossible to exactly correlate monitor footage to 

mission material. 

2. A rough guess was made as to what portion of the monitor 

data was mission material. This data was then analyzed

hampered the printers. 

(4) Cayuga #5 was never certified due to poor resolution.

To: Q. C. /Production 

From: 

29 July 1976 

Subject: In-Line Evaluation for 1200 Series Missions 

A meeting was held on 28 July 1976 to discuss the procedure 

for conducting in-line evaluation. 

Those in attendance included: 

After a brief discussion, the following recommendations and 

procedure. were resolved. 

1. Lab Cuts 

a. The first lab cut printed on each Cayuga will be evaluated. 

(1) The printer operator will note on the white print 

ticket which Cayuga was used. 

b. Every 5th lab cut printed on each Cayuga will also be evaluated. 

2. Composite Cans 

a. The first can composited for each camera record will be 

evaluated. 

b. It will be evaluate.d again afte r: 

(1) Webster Cleaning 

(2) 1st - six printings. 

(3) Every six printings thereafter. 

c. Every 10th can composited for each camera record will a1so 

be evaluated as above. 

3. Miscellaneous 

a. The evahlation of lab cut rolls will be done on one of the 

secondary breakdown tables.

4. Any damage found on the film during this evaluation must be reported IMMEDIATELY to the Dry Foreman, Q. C. Honcho and the 

Primary Lead Man. 

5. The Dry Foreman and the Q. C. Honcho should also be informed 

throughout the mission on the progress of this evaluation.
