196227400Elmhurst New York: Kollsman Instrument Corporation Systems Management Division 1962. First Edition. Wraps. Near Fine. First Edition. 32 pages. 11 x 8 1/2 oblong. Textured pictorial wrappers stapled. Minor soiling to covers generally bright and clean. Wraps. A sales brochure highlighting the six most important portions of this system designed for the Boeing RC-135A jet aircraft for advanced photographic mapping systems. Today's air reconaissance vehicles put this system to shame but the brochure is fairly technical with specifications and diagrams for each of the systems including the "Airborne Digital Computer" with it's 8448 word memory and 537.6 kc clock rate. Wikipedia notes that "The first RC-135 variant the RC-135A was ordered in 1962 by the United States Air Force to replace the Boeing RB-50 Superfortress.Four RC-135As 63-8058 through 8061 were photo mapping platforms utilized briefly by the Air Photographic & Charting Service based at Turner Air Force Base Georgia and later at Forbes Air Force Base Kansas as part of the 1370th Photographic Mapping Wing. The mission was soon assumed by satellites and the RC-135As were de-modified and used as staff transports. In the early 1980s they were further converted to tankers with the designation KC-135D of the same basic configuration as the KC-135E plus some remaining special mission equipment. Due to delays in reinstalling their original equipment the RC-135As were the last of the entire C-135 series delivered to the USAF. The Boeing model number for the RC-135A is 739-700."<br/><br/>As with many expensive military items the brochure is quite interesting visually - with excellent conceptual art detailing how the system was to be used. This system was never really used however as advancements in optics and satellite technology soon overshadowed airplane borne methods for this sort of work. Not surprisingly there are no copies in OCLC/Worldcat nor online that we could find as of this writing. Kollsman Instrument Corporation, Systems Management Division unknown books

1982qms625Hershey PA: Hershey Foods Corporation 1982. Fourth Printing. Quarto paperbound stiff brown full-color photograph illus. wrappers 96 pp. Illustrated with full-color photographs throughout. Near-Fine with sunned spine. From Introduction: Welcome to Hershey! Since the early1900s people have been coming to visit Hershey. At first the numbers were small but in each succeeding year the crowds grew. They came to see a planned community that was built before the term was invented; they came to see firsthand one of the most fascinating American success stories and they often lingered for awhile in the lovely park or stayed to enjoy the luxury of the resort-like hotel. More people were drawn to Hershey each year not because the town’s attractions were dramatized on billboards or proclaimed on the radio but because each visitor went home to tell relatives and friends about the pleasant place he had found in rural central Pennsylvania. When Milton Hershey built a community where people could live happily and productively he created an atmosphere visitors wanted to absorb. Mr. Hershey wanted to establish a real hometown. And he did.
