APPENDIX A 



RECORDKEEPING 



Appendix A contains examples of completed data forms used to collect 

 each principal type of data during the LEBS testing program^ 197Q-72. This 

 appendix does not include forms for data which were not uniformly or fre- 

 quently collected or standard forms which were used as an intermediate 

 step in data reduction. 



1. Laboratory Logbook . 



A typical handwritten entry in the laboratory logbook for a test run 

 is shown in Figure A-1. The entry follows the standard recording sequence 

 adopted in mid-September 1970. 



2. Optical Mark Scanning Form (CERC Form 60) . 



This form was used to record survey data during the 3 years of the 

 LEBS testing program. The form in Figure A-2 is an initial sheet, used 

 to begin each profile. Successive sheets of a given profile were contin- 

 uation sheets, CERC Form 83 or 43. These scanning sheets are read by an 

 IBM Optical Mark Page Reader. 



3. Wave Record Identification Labels . 



Figure A-5 shows a completed handwritten sheet for wave record identi- 

 fication labels. In actual use the labels were separated, and one label 

 was glued to the back side of each end of a wave record (this label was 

 used throughout the LEBS tests). IVhen stored in roll form, each roll had 

 the label information readily available. 



4. Wave Record Lab Coding Form [CERC Form 30). 



This form (sample shown in Figure A-4) was used to log the information 

 on the 1970 and 1971 wave records. The information was entered on the 80- 

 column form according to the procedure in the following instructions: 



a. Logging card column format for wave records in wave 

 height variability study. 



Column Log Card 



1: card number of entry for the particular roll. 



2 to 24: identification of record in following form: 



column 2 to 4: roll numbers such as 016, 12A, 



etc. 

 column 5 to 11: data in form 29APR6S 

 column 15 to 16: test code in form LEB 

 column 17 to 24: roll code in form 8N10001A
