When we were first introduced to the equipment back at the
stowage review up at St. Louis, we didn't lmow enough about
the experiment to really analyze the equipment, to find out
whether it would be adequate or not.
That is right. We should have. picked up the reticle light­
ing on that.
Because we did not pick up the reticle lighting and we did
not pick up the green filter.
No.
The green filter looked all right when we used it on

Also, experiments to the M-1 experiment was sort of a last

failures.

spacecraft or the ECS system.
