Call from a Lockheed Aircraft Corp. chap who was inquiring about the DPC, no doubt put on it by Mr. Quinlan at Lockheed/Vandenburg. I referred him to Lt. Col. Parker at HqBSD/Norton.
Checked out a stop watch #449 indicating tenths of seconds.
Spoke at length w/ Frank McNamara on the TRAP III operation. He agreed that it would be quite desirable to keep Bendix in on the job, and agreed that it would be good to ask or suggest to Major Dalton that Bendix be responsible for as much as possible up to and including the processing of film.
Rode to Lab w/ Harry S. so I could go after the Ford, which I did on the 3 PM shuttle. The battery was cold-soaked and had to be boosted. Picked up a few rolls of film at the Coop and 3 tubes for the radio at the Radio Shack. Ate a sandwich and apple in the car at the Kendall Square parking lot.
Went over to PSC and talked w/ JAC & KO re: the audio system. After 2 hours of talking we were able to get Ken to agree to putting in an Altec multicellular HF & bass speaker system. He apparently has no feel at all for an audio system with anything other than the cheapest components.
Met JAH & NJH at 9 PM & went home. They had gone in on the train for a Valentine’s Party.
