Houston, we're recording altitude HA 1026, HP 96.8, RVI 25 560.

Roger, Apollo 8. Understand; apogee 102.6, perigee 96.8, and velocity—I understand—25 560. Could you confirm?

That's affirmative.

Thank you, Jim.

Roger.

Apollo 8, Houston through the Canaries. How do you read me?

You are loud and clear, Houston, over the Canaries.

Good; you are clear, too. How is it going?

Fine. We seem to be going along very well. We noticed about a 10-pound DELTA-V between the oxygen fuel in the SPS zone.

Apollo 8, Houston. That is normal; that's just about what we expected. Over.

Apollo 8, Houston.

This is 8. Go ahead.

Roger, Jim. when you do your P52, you can expect a torquing angle of 0.25 degrees. Over.

Roger. Torquing angle of 0.25 degrees when we do P52. Thank you.

Roger.

Stand by for the—a—stand by. Okay. Main REG B valve closed.

Apollo 8, Houston. Say again.

Negative. we didn't say anything. Go ahead, Houston.

I think you were transmitting; Jim was transmitting and disregard.

Roger. No matter.

Apollo 8. Houston.

Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 8.
