MAFF comments that the record seems OK, although many (19%) speeds
were at threshhold. According to the recovery log, the rotor turned
freely. (CMDAC notes here that threshhold speeds, if in error, often
are caused by a failure of the reed switch that counts rotor turns,
rather than by the rotor seizing.)

CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of this file in which a few
direction spikes and speed spikes, apparently caused by instrument
errors, have been smoothed by linear interpolation.  Both the original
and value-added versions of the file are available at this site.
