ting time when both planes touched down. The magazines were removed 

 from both cameras and taken to the Navy Photo Center for development. 

 Later that night the films had been inspected. Everything was fine except 

 that the corners of the pictures taken from both cameras were blurred. The 

 cameras had been mounted too high up in the fuselage of the aircraft so that 

 part of the field of view was being cut off. Some nainor surgery on the mounts 

 was all that was required. By the 12th of October everything was ready to 

 roll and Marks issued detailed instructions to all parties outlining exactly 

 what and how each was to do his part. 



On the 15th the Woods Hole Port Captain issued letter instructions to 

 the ATLANTIS Captain to depart Woods Hole on or about the 17th for latitude 

 39N, longitude 63. 5W to the rendezvous with the waves, the weather and the 

 PZV's. It was hoped that SWOP would be over and done with by the 25th so 

 that the ATLANTIS could be back at Woods Hole on the 27th as early in the 

 day as possible. 



When the right weather and cloud conditions finally occurred, the 

 ATLANTIS was there after waiting for one week; the planes were there; the 

 cameras were functioning; and on the 25th of October the pictures were taken. 



There remained the unexciting task of cleaning up after the operation. 

 All the various items of borrowed equipment had to be returned. There was 

 more correspondence back and forth piecing together some of the loose ends. 

 Marks sent down a data sheet for the distance between the raft and the 

 ATLANTIS in each pair of photographs. Prints of the best stereo pair ac- 

 cording to the judgnaent of Hydro's Photogrammetrists were sent to him.
