Roger. The DELTA-TIG looked like it was right on. Burn time appeared to us to be about 2 seconds longer, 517. VGX was reading 95485 when we got it. The attitude was nominal. VI was reading 35452 at cut-off, H-dot 04552, and H is 01791. DELTA-VC on the EMS was minus 20.6.

Booster begins maneuver to SEP attitude at 03:10:55. Takes 5 minutes, so it arrives at 03:15:55, and SEP time, 03:20:55. Your SEP attitude, the gimbal angles on the PAD remain good.

And would you keep a special eye on the purge tank and cryo O2 tank 1 DELTA-V for us since our flowmeter is pegged out, we got no warning on O2 high flow.

Yes, reading you loud and clear, Frank. Understand you've started the maneuver to SEP attitude.

We're reading about the same as we were before on that oxygen flow. The reason it's that high is due to the cabin gas changeover. According to Apollo 7, if your data repeats theirs, you can expect it to be high for another few hours.

You can expect that the S-IVB will be 10 degrees off in pitch at SEP attitude; however, that is GO. There is no problem involved.

Roger. We have you about 30 seconds prior to separation, and everything's looking good.
