Went up to Roi on the 0955 plane w/ JK, and spent most of the day talking to Peter Pfluke, getting his comments on my questions and what he would do for the Versamat. Also, AS did the same for the Versamat. I have it about covered.
Also spent a lot of time w/ P2 on the preparation of his control charts. He has plotted the range and density of two steps, but apparently he does not know the formula for σ, so I gave it to him. He took his data over to the ROI AD Bldg. to compute out, but the Friden was jammed so he ret’d & called Scott Wickett at Kwaj who did the σ’ and means for him. The values are in my notes; they are quite close. He also worked up a std. procedure for his technician (Ken Dalton, 641 Aspen St., Vandenberg AFB) to follow.
Met P. Sebring at the Air Terminal, when I commented that I understood he is “The Boss,” he said he wasn’t listened to!
1/3 overcast
Rain Early AM
Most of the swelling gone on awakening, but had a painful time in getting my foot “on the ground”! Walked down to the Air Terminal with some pain.
Had an interesting discussion w/ Jim K. on navigation. He is learning navigation, contemplating a yacht on retirement.
Talked to Bill Romaine again.
