Roughly about half the estimated uncertainty in yield comes from
uncertainty of burst position, and half comes from the spread of

diameter-time data,

Careful re-reading of the film will probably

decrease the uncertainty due to data spread.

the uncertainty is less owing

to decreased diameter-time data spread); however in EG&G report
PPG 2247 it is recommended that despite decreased data spread this
film be considered less reliable than 33264 because of poor image quality.
