Went thru the modulation transfer function argument and the need for direct electron photography hardware with Dave Clapp, who then signed the disclosure on Page 9.
Finally completed a call to Jim Knight at Kwaj; He will be in Pasadena on 21 Jan. and the ff week. During the day he will be at Bowler & Chivans in South Pasadena at (area code 213) MU2-3391, and will stay at the Saga Motel on Colorado Blvd. SY5-0431. I agreed to try to see him on 22 or 23 Jan. I hope I can combine this w/ a trip to Florida & the inspection trip to McClellan as well as a stop at Sandia Corporation to see the “Clean” Room installation.
AAG read over and signed the disclosure on the previous page. He mentioned that a lecture in A-166 where a film of colloidon was pulled thru a CRT that had a 2-stage seal at each end that worked successfully.
WZL unable to justify 800′ or 35mm spectral film on his list of 10 Sept. ’62; suggested that I use CJN’s list from Bendix.
Clear
Informed by WZL that since my salary is already so high that I don’t get a pay raise this year, that I am regarded as competent and my work good. Also, money for salary increases was scarce this year. I suspect I ought to look into going back to the government with its lengthy vacation, particularly since I took out my retirement deposits on leaving. There is also the problem of a non-governmental employee carrying enough death benefit income insurance to protect his family. the Bureau of Labor Compensation would have provided my family with $607/month on my death. My current income is $16,860/year, but I find it increasingly difficult to pay for enough insurance to duplicate even half my income.
Worked out a letter to BB&N re: the PSC audio where I ask them for a line diagram and for clarifying comments on their letter of 15 October 1962.
