PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY, PORTABLE ES-39 (XH-1).

A study and prototype of a Portable Photographic Laboratory was completed in response to Air Force requirements. This laboratory is self-contained, providing its own power supply and environmental control system for worldwide application in support of the photographic processing equipment designed and developed as part of this project. The Processor is designed to process 9 3/8-inch paper and 16mm, 35mm, 70mm, 5-inch and 9 1/2-inch film, either singly or in multiple strands up to and including the 5-inch width. The Projection Contact-Printer is designed for contact printing, 2X enlarging, and optional automatic dodging or masking in either mode. Included are supporting items such as a Sensitometer, Densitometer, RewinderViewer, and supplies required for a continuous operational period of twenty-four hours. (Author)
