The regul at ed pressure stayed at 300, r ight on the money,
throughout the ent ire flight until the auxiliary tank was
actuated.
We ot:>erated the auxiliary tank when the nressure
dr opped about 30 psi .
Lovel l
Yes . It went down to about 260 or 270.
IlonnAn
Right. It crune right back up , and the system worked just
exactly as advertised. The prope1.1ant ouantity gauge
worked fine. Por most of the flight it was right in
ae-reement with the ground comt:>utations.

1:/hat wa.s the final pro"9elJant quantity reading?
Borman
About 2 percent to 3 percent.
Lovell
And we still had 300 psi r egulated pressure.
Borman
Source pressure remained about 1,000 psi.

The OAMS propellant quantity gauge, worked fine .
Lovell
At least it was on the s i de favoring us .
:Sorman
Yes.
The ground in.formation was excellent. At the end of
every da,y they gave us ground r undown of how much O.AMS fuel
we had remaining. It worked out fine. We were short on
O.&MS fuel. Any time we di dn't have a s~ecific assi gnment,
we were in drif t ing f l ight. That's one thing we want men­
