This Technical Report was a sub-set of the ambitious PLAN reader manufacturing project described above. While the official 'go ahead' directive was not issued by WLC Vice President R. W. Marker until August 19, 1969, MRC Engineering, in anticipation of the forthcoming directive, had already begun to 'lead the duck' early in 1969. My 40-page initial report was released in April, with the final specifications for the Burroughs Interface to the MRC card reader completed on September 1, 1969. This document includes a September 8, 1969 trip report, written by a fellow WLC engineer, R. S. Bachtell, from the WEC Pittsburgh, PA facility, and dated September 12, 1969, to the Burroughs Plant in Plymouth, Michigan. I brought four of my WLC/MRC technical staff to the meeting, and we were joined by Bachtell from the WEC Pittsburgh, PA facility, but we were out-gunned by Burroughs, who had representatives present from their Paoli, PA facility and Pittsburgh, PA facility, as well as the Plymouth, MI group. Ten in all. They smelled a big order for lots of dollars. Sorry! In reviewing this material for the first time in nearly four decades, I'm thankful once again that WLC cancelled this project! Yes, a lot of hard work and late hours invested by myself and many others, but I believe the effort was doomed from the start. Just an Iowa Engineer's opinion, of course
