And the analog range was in close agreeme:'lt with
the digital range when the REP was going away from
us.
Yep.
The GLV fuel and oxidizer pressure gauges
worked excellent except for the IPS.
Stage two IPS
fuel gauge failed to the full max deflect:i.on posi­
tion just shortly before POGO started, ancl stayed
in the OFF position until after staging. It came
back on and worked for about a minute and then went
back off again. The altimeter worked just like it
worked in the altitude chamber.

It was erratic going up.
And I don ' t guess you ca.n expect a pressm·e alti­
meter like that to follow as fast as that booster is
moving.
It's r eally winding up.
Coming back on reentry, why, we were apparently a
lot slower on the other aide of it, because it
unwound in a.n extremely steady manner and it seemed
to be right with the barostat .
It was right on the barostat , actually.
And this is really the important thing.
