When I was being trained as an observer for those tests, the project
leader tried to increase our rate of learning by various ways. One day
he offered the person with the highest score a nickle. All our scores
went up. We wondered why he did not try it again, or raise the amount of
the prize. He said the size of the prize would not increase the score
much and it was the novelty that improved the scores. Hence doing that
again would be less effective. He never offered us drinks, but it would
have been against company policy anyway and could have gotten us fired.
I remember we built a projector with four Schneider Componon 240mm f/5.6
lenses in it and each had a color filter in it. The lenses had to have
their axes in parallel so as to eliminate the geometrical distortions.
I made the negatives by computer, but I cannot remember how I did that.
I mean I wrote the program, but the only output device I can remember
was a Stromberg Carlson recorder with a Characteron tube in it, and I
cannot imagine I used that because it recorded on 35 mm surveillance
film (Kodak 2475?). That would have been quite unsuitable.
It was about 30 years ago and I cannot remember the details anymore.
