Okay, control s and displays, sequence telelights .
The only comment I have on sequence t el elights is
that the comp light on the comput~r is too bright.
That 's right.
We are going to have to have some way of iimming
that or put some tape over it or something, because
That 's a comment for GT-6 especially.
Because when you are running it at night with the
computer on for rendezvous, that comp light darn
near blinds you.
Yeah, it I s really bright .
That needs a dim f eature
on i t.
The other sequential telelights that are in there
are all dimable, or turnoffable .
Say, there is one thing t hat we didn't t r y through.
I wonder if that thing is on the bright-dim sequence
We never did put the switch to dim.
I never
thought of it in 8 days eibher. I'll bet you it's
on t he bright-dim circuit, but we never used that
swit ch.
We ' ve never had occassion to ever use t hat
swit ch.
You lmow we always check sequence l ights
bright .
So, that is what that check is f or.
