Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. We copy, and could you give us the frame number on that last picture, please?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. We've been writing them all down, Vance, as we went, but that one turned out to be 29.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. Twenty-nine, Fred.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Jack says I can't read the camera very well. It should be 28 based on our start frame.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

13, Houston. Understand, though, the number showing that you read on the camera was 28. Is that affirm?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes. The readability of that thing is like, you know, half a frame one way or the other; so, 28, I think, is a good number.

Fred Haise (LMP)

I'll have to not wear it out before Jack gets there.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Sounds like that music's a pretty nice thing to have on a long voyage.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Fred, did you get any MASTER ALARMS up there about 5 or 10 minutes ago? Folks thought they saw some here and they were curious about it.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes. We got another O2 FLOW HIGH on—I guess it was about 5 minutes ago.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Vance, what the people down there might have been seeing is our testing.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. Testing the CAUTION and WARNING?

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Yes. We were rigging the siren device over the MASTER ALARM, and we were running a test on it.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. Good enough. And anytime you're ready to copy, I've got a pad P37 block data.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. Go ahead, Vance.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. P37 block data, starting with GETI. 025:00, 5119, minus 165, 071:08; 035:00, 7733, minus 165, 070:36; 045:00, 6208, minus 165, 094:52; 060:00, 5993, minus 165, 118:53. Over.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. Stand by 1 minute.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. 025:00, 5119, minus 165, 071:08; 035:00, 7733, minus 165, 070:36; 045:00, 6208, minus 165, 094:52; 060:00, 5993, minus 165, 118:53.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. That's all correct.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

We're starting our presleep checklist and no medication.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. The Doc says very good.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

And, Houston, is there any onboard readouts that you don't have from us.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Stand by 1. We need the LM/CM DELTA-P for one thing, and I'll check back in a minute with the others.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. And we still have the vent valve open. We'll close it one of the last things and looking at LM/CM DELTA-P right now and I see 0.5 in psi indicated.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Only other readouts we need are those on page 3-13 of the flight plan. BAT C, pyro BAT A, pyro BAT B, RCS A, B, C, and D readings, and DC INDICATOR select main A or B.

Fred Haise (LMP)

And, Vance, we're still charging BAT B. Did you want to dispense with that in a few minutes?

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay, Vance, I've got your readouts on page 3-13 of the flight plan.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay, BAT C is 37, pyro BAT A is 37, pyro BAT B is 37, RCS A 94 percent, B 95 percent, C 93 percent, D 96 percent.
