1. A Boeing Airplane Company employee, Mr brought the
inclosed color sli
to the largest magnification possible at this facility and in my opinion
the slide is a double exposure (possible on an Argus C-3) of a light bulb
and shade and Diamond Head, Hawaii, although the circumstances as described
by Mr. appears to refute this. The double exposure may have been made
at the time of development, or at some other time in the process of manufacture.
However, in accordance with AFR 20o-?, I am submitting the slide and
information relative to the picture and if additional information is required,
please contact Mr. or myself. As some of the information requested
by AFR 200-2 is unknown, the specified format could not be followed.
