Next four scenes were of text on 130 Display Same parameters Same sugestions

F 2.8 @ 18 FPS

Next two scenes were of chess board to check depth of feild/field and grain of emusion. Grain was good but be damn careful of focus

Parameters of scenes Lens 17-85 mm zoom pan cinor F 3.8 Normal room light, taken at midnight, so that it would be [wost?] case I.E. no world light (sun) thru windows

#1 3.8 @ 24 FPS 17 --> 85 mm 39 1/2" to center of black pawn

#2 3.8 @ 24 FPS

17 --> 85 mm 39" to center of fifth pawn from left

Note all distances are from center of sub. to film plane mark on camera body

Following THREE SCENES WERE OF TV MONITOR

PARAMETERS:

LENS 17-85 MM PAN CINOR ZOOM F 3.8 ROOM LIGHT

(1) 3.8 @ 24 FPS MEDIUM BLACK BARS / POOR / GOOD EXP.

(2) 3.8 @ 18 FPS LARGE BLACK BARS / BAD / GOOD EXP

(3) 3.8 @ 32 FPS THIN WHITE LINE / GOOD / GOOD EXP

NOTES: ITS VERY EVIDENT THAT WE SHOULD SHOT AT A SLOW SPEED TO AVOID BLK BARS. I THINK THAT 18 FPS IS A GOOD SPD.

WE CAN ELIMINATE TO A GREAT DEGREE THE WHITE LINE BY USING VAR-SHUTTER CONTROL AND SHOOT A TEST ROLL WITH IT.

SUMMARY WITH THE PROPER EQUIPMENT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SHOOT AND DUCUMENT ANYTHING THAT WE CHOOSE PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING FEATURES ARE INCOPORATE INTO CAMERA

(1) REFLEX VIEW FINDER WITH PELL ICILE (PELL-1-RIL) MIRRO SYSTEM

(2) VARIABLE SHUTTER CONTROL

(3) 16 mm type of camera

(4) Lots of supporting equip. in availibility

(5) Motor run option vari-electric, conts. spd, etc.

(6) Expandable film run (magazine) option

(7) Utility type of camera (rugged)

and so forth.

SInce I have, as a means of living, in the past used most all system that are currently avail. I would sujest the following model and gear.

DOOM!

System killed repeatedly at intervals of seconds by parity errors in core 1. AUTO BLT runs fine. D. Poole

The stupid brushes are worn out AGAIN (so soon?) on the Mag tape. Some idiot carefully hid the spares. Probably said idiot should replace them. Perhaps someone should send a bomb to DEC or at least find out why we go through brushes so fast. (Brush life is only 200 --> 300 hours / there are no spares) Randy

Probably Brush ware (sp?) was due to rubber sponge particles in vacuum system?
