COMMENTS:
A complete description of the SRO system can be found in Peterson et al. (1976).
Persistent telemetry problems at GRFO frequently resulted in the loss of several
samples of data in some records.  This caused a one second time loss for each
sample of long period data lost in transit.  This could pose some problems when
analyzing this data.
