Was a mech cal tech OM1911 (BM) before mircs, back then,  we were mainly there to support the polaris program just about 1/2 our work was calibarting the equip used to optical align the polaris missles.  Hardly anything was electroinic we even had to use a Fredian mech calulator to do computitation for calibrating surface plates.  The school then was located in a building on the property of General Dynamics in Pomona, Calif.  That is where MEC was located they that developed the calibartiion procedures.  The school was 10 weeks long, 6 weeks of Physical/dimensional and 4 weeks of optical.I went to school in the late winter of '68.  The school moved to Lowrey in '69 except the optical part in the early 70's with the posidion system, the optical systems were phased out.

Haven't seen Tetrault since Sima Ingleside 4 years ago. Can get ahold of him If you want. Williams has been lost to me for just as long. Could not reach him at all. I think Jon may know where he is. Shoot me a pm I want to know who I'm talking to.
