1961224201961. U.S. Naval Missile Center Authors and Editors Handbook 1961 establishes standardized authorship formatting and editorial control for technical reports produced at the Pacific Missile Range documenting the internal communication systems that supported U.S. guided missile and early satellite programs during the Cold War. Issued for personnel at Point Mugu California the manual defines procedures for drafting reviewing and disseminating classified and technical material tied to weapons development providing direct evidence of how military knowledge was structured codified and circulated within federal defense infrastructure. The inclusion of a contemporaneous typescript insert History of the Pacific Missile Range February 1961 further situates the handbook within active missile testing and space recovery operations supporting research into Cold War science military bureaucracy and the integration of documentation practices into weapons development.<br /> <br /> Pacific Missile Range and U.S. Naval Missile Center. Authors and Editors Handbook. Point Mugu CA: U.S. Naval Missile Center 1 August 1961. First edition. Publication No. NMC-MP-61-9. Quarto format 218 pages with an additional 5-page typescript insert titled History of the Pacific Missile Range February 1961 issued by the Public Affairs Office. Three-hole-punched sheets bound with cloth tape and printed card wrappers. The handbook is organized into four sections: Report Preparation Manuscript Preparation Language Grammar and Punctuation and Matters of Style outlining requirements for technical clarity typographic consistency and standardized formatting across naval missile documentation. The inserted historical report traces the establishment of the Pacific Missile Range in 1957 under William Holaday and details its expansion into "an ocean-spanning instrumented network capable of supplying information on the launching guidance and impact of the nation's largest missiles and satellites." Documented events include "On 16 Dec 1958 the first REGULUS II missile was fired" and the recovery of "DISCOVERER XIII. making it the first man-made object ever recovered from orbit" providing a contemporaneous record of early U.S. missile and satellite operations.<br /> <br /> Produced during a period of rapid expansion in U.S. missile testing and space reconnaissance the manual demonstrates how technical writing standards were integrated into military systems to ensure uniformity precision and reliability in the production of strategic knowledge. References to parallel guides such as Guide for Air Force Writing and Preparation of Weapon-Test Reports indicate alignment across branches of the armed services in codifying technical communication. The Pacific Missile Range functioned as a central node in Cold War weapons testing linking launch sites tracking stations and recovery operations across the Pacific and the documentation practices outlined here formed part of the operational infrastructure supporting those activities.

A couple photos within the two albums show early motorcycles and even gallivanting on some stripped down chassis without engines or tires. The second album includes a series of photos featuring Walter and his car beneath a towering Cedar Stump with arch cut into the base and him holding gun as well as standing on the fenders of the car.

191017192Southern Pacific Railroad. Good. 1910-1940. Hardcover. The ledgers are worn with tape reinforcing the spines. Misc. Inserted papers loose with dates from1906 to the 1944. Pages of blueprints of items to be made for the railroad signs etc. handwritten notes of lumber to be ordered for various projects. One ledger has the date 1916 written in the front on the fep. That volume is a "car inspector's record book". The listings give car numbers and condition or repairs; the dates run up to 1922. The second ledger is mostly empty with a lot of pretty boring blueprints inserted loose. In the back are loose pages of contracts for work with detailed decriptions and specifications written in a very neat hand. These pages are not dated but the pages themselves were printed in 1896 and there is a receipt tipped onto one page dated 1899. Not the most historically significant collection but should be pretty fun for an S. P. Fan. Sorry I don't have pictures. Sold as-is what-it-is. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall .

192175088St. Paul: Northern Pacific Railway Company 1921-1930. First edition. Ten consecutive issues. Folio 12 x 9 inches. Variously paginated. Many charts but no illustrations. All but the Twenty-seventh and the Thirty-fourth Reports have large folding maps bound in at rear of report. Original printed wrappers and all bound together in a stabbed-and-sewn black cloth binder. Very good.The Northern Pacific Railway reporting mark NP was a transcontinental railroad that operated across the northern tier of the western United States from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest. It was approved by Congress in 1864 and given nearly forty million acres 62000 sq mi; 160000 km2 of land grants which it used to raise money in Europe for construction. Construction began in 1870 and the main line opened all the way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific when former President Ulysses S. Grant drove in the final "golden spike" in western Montana on September 8 1883. The railroad had about 6800 miles 10900 km of track and served a large area including extensive trackage in the states of Idaho Minnesota Montana North Dakota Oregon Washington and Wisconsin. In addition the NP had an international branch to Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. The main activities were shipping wheat and other farm products cattle timber and minerals; bringing in consumer goods transporting passengers; and selling land. The Northern Pacific merged with other lines in 1970 to form the Burlington Northern Railroad which in turn merged with the Santa Fe to become the BNSF Railway in 1996. The main interest here is in the very detailed maps. Northern Pacific Railway Company hardcover
