Concluded I would put the details of film processing and calibration & use in the Appendices to my spec rather than omit them or put them in the main test.
Asked the library to secure a French translation of Prof. Lallemards article on the astronomical spectroscopic use of electronic photometry. He claims a film speed increase by a factor of 100! The diode output is proportional to the input energy and has no reciprocity effect as film does. See my entry for 9 January 1963.
Called Geo Pickering at KI7-4900 and told him of the lavalier mike, boxes, and ground on case. He thot the ground would be taken care of by the chap who gave the projector. Also discussed the need for economy, citing the 6-6 vote on the front hallway repair. We also talked of the need in the audio-TV area; it’s about $3000 made up as follows: $600 for preamps, etc; $500 for 2 organ mikes; $500 for a wireless mike; and $400 for 3 tape recorders; the latter sum can probably be recovered in 2 years. I’ll discuss this w/ HJO in the next two weeks.
Called Ed Poore to check on the lavalier — he will put it on the piano, and Maury Jacques & Geo P. will see it is used at 12:30 and then put back in the radio room. I hope this works out, particularly for tonight.
Ken O. called at 0950 to ask how the system is owrking. He didn’t believe that I had heard WBCN on the SS-Knight 75 watt amplifier. He took the cable in last night.
Picked up 2 Jeep tail gate hinges & some screws, taking them to Mr. Cornelius.
