In addition to the mt’l on p. 9, what is needed is some method of making the electron beam responsive to the content or characteristics of the wake. My original idea was in connection with the microdensitometer, to provide films of greater resolution. Apparently the duplication of an optical spectrum by electromagnetic means is not possible!
Talked to Bill Daly, Travel Office, re: more insurance for my pending trip to Kwaj; he obviously thinks what they have is enough. This is not so, particularly when my own insurance is void over the last leg, as it is via a non-common carrier and not MATS. He phoned the Goorich Agency who wrote the $50 K policy that MIT now has on test personnel on a per-flight basis. Mr. G. said he would call back — this at 0900.
Called Mr. Shaner at EKCo/Hollywood re: conversion of the machine S/N 113. He will call back. Mr. Ryan did at 2:55 PM; the machine is a 16/35 spray type & can be converted.

Rain in PM
Called the Leo C. Perkins Co. CE5-8040 re: heating my library floor with electricity; their units for snow melting would not be applicable; he (Jacko) will call back if he finds something useful.
Went in to PSC for the Trustees mtg. The roof & truss repairs will cost about $115K and may be finished by Easter but we aren’t sure. It was voted 11 to 6 to hire the outside consultant suggested by Dr. Andreason to ascertain & state the needs of the church. In my opinion this is a waste of money for a church to engage in this sort of activity in view of the guidance of the Bible and prayer.
JAH & NJH went in with me.
