As stated to I~tr. Sharpe we believe the reli.ability of the
S:R1D in handling these *zessaTes *aill be very high.
The cirreumst,an.oes
under which it maybe precluded fron doing so will ro doubt bo
peculiar. Unlßscs tho circt.:rnata.:ce to failure of the ,SÁR.1.D cnu.ipr:sant
itself, it is highly likely tl:afi, any other automatic c+rna.eemcnt
would be equally incapable of poaÁorm{n,g under the cano conditions.
We doeirled teat chat uus required vus ananual override of the

We have studied the procedures used at present at OTC, Leitr-? ezx?

The "module" shown on the plum is u very slept° treesistorieed

most unlikely to be repouten four Mew under other circumstances.
This Could replace the previously, agreed lino food-carriage return

You trill note that the ii
