Correct. There were only two strikes during first gen production.
Jan-Feb 67 at NOR and May-June 69 at LOS.

The 1/4 dies cause a wrinkle in the 1/4 and Fisher tried multiple times to repair it. Eventually they made a whole new die - major launch disaster and lots of scrambling to keep the 69 in production (cause suppliers were winding down).
