User Note No 4: Camera Schedules

R Brandwood

21 May 1975

The FR80, unlike the SD4020, can only have one camera mounted at anyone time. At ACL there are a number of cameras available to the user and therefore a schedule is needed of the times when each one is loaded.

Camera Model           Type

8020                  16mm Colour
                      16mm Black and White
                      35mm Colour
                      35mm Black and White
8021                  16mm Precision - Black and White

8032                  105mm Microfiche

8060                  Hardcopy - single frame
                      Hardcopy - many sub-frames to a frame

Model 8020 will normally be used for 35mm output and 16mm colour, while 16mm black and white should be done on Model 8021 as this camera gives better precision. The turnround for colour output and 16mm black and white using the combined camera will be significantly slower than the other alternatives.

Users are encouraged to use the many-up facility on hardcopy as this is faster and more economical as well as being ideal for debugging purposes. Microfiche is ideal for large amounts of output and users are asked to use this rather than 100 frames of hardcopy.

The following schedule is outlined for the start of service, but this will be reviewed and changes made as a better view of requirements is obtained. A 24-hour service will be operated from midnight on Sunday to midnight on Friday - except for a 4-hour preventive maintenance period on Wednesday mornings.

Prime Shift Schedule

09.00  -  10.00      System development if required
10.00  -  11.00      Hardcopy
11.00  -  12.00      8020 - 35mm
12.00  -  12.30      8021 - 16mm
12.30  -  13.00      Microfiche
13.30  -  14.30      Hardcopy
14.30  -  14.50      8020 - 35mm Black and White only
14.50  -  15.20      8021 - 16mm
15.20  -  15.45      Microfiche
15.45  -  16.30      Hardcopy
16.30  -  18.00      System development if required

No fixed schedule is proposed for the evening or night shifts. Longer jobs will be given priority in the early part of the evening and each camera will have at least one run if time allows. Microfiche work will be given priority on the night shift.
