  • "The Huntsville Trial of Frank James" by Alvis Howard, undated

  • "The IBM Clean Room Comes of Age."

    A history of the IBM's Space Systems Center clean room and a description of its uses.
  • "The impact of manufacturing on design as related to accessibility."

    The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the need for accessibility in the assembly and maintenance of spacecraft. This is especially pertinent because accessibility to subsystems for replacement, repair, and maintenance has proven to be one of the more costly phases of preflight preparation. The most successful programs in this day and age have been when the design and manufacturing engineers work side by side around a mockup where solutions to the problems can be visually seen and solved, keeping in mind the assembly as related to accessibility. Therefore, it will be shown that in order to overcome the difficulties, designers should adapt a hard, fast ground rule that each unit must be accessible and individually removable without disturbing the other units.; Aeronautic and Space Engineering and Manufacturing Meeting, Los Angeles, Calif. Oct. 7 - 11, 1968.
  • "The Influence of Apollo/Saturn V Launch Operations on Lunar Site Selection: Case 330."

    This paper presents some relationships between Apollo/Saturn V launch operations and multiple lunar landing sites, including the means by which site selection could facilitate launch operations.
  • "The instrumentation of space vehicle in connection with the successful Saturn flight tests."

    Presented on September 21, 1962, at the Eleventh Tagung Der Deutchen Raketen - Gesellschaft, Koblenz, West Germany. Instrumentation sf the Saturn space vehicle represents a considerable effort during the development phase, for proper design evaluatian of this new configuration, its propulsion system, and its structure and control characteristics, an unprecedented number of measurements are required to be carried onboard and to be recovered, These measurements are expected to work properly and to furnish the design engineer with information that is not available by ground testing,
  • "The Iterative Guidance Law for Saturn."

    Summary: "Based on Lawden's equation, semi-explicit,'iterative' Saturn guidance equations are derived, many were successfully flight tested on Saturn I and analyzed for the main Apollo mission and other applications applications."
  • "The J-2 Liquid Hydrogen Rocket Engine."

    The 5-2 high-energy liquid propellant rocket engine (~i~. l), a large engine producing 200,000 pounds of thrust at altitude conditions, burns liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to produce the necessary high specific impulse for practical space use. Rocketdyne, a Division of North American Aviation, Inc., is developing the engine for the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, Xfi. The first use of the engine will be in the upper stages of the Saturn vehicles. Five engines will be used for the second, S-I1 stage of the Saturn V, and one will power the S-IVB third stage of the Saturn V and S-ISTI second stage of 'the Saturn IB; Original is a photocopy on onion skin.
  • "The Madison County Courthouse Mural, Huntsville, Alabama."

    Reprinted as part of the Alabama sesquicentennial celebration, this pamphlet was originally produced for the dedicated of the new Madison County Courthouse in 1967. Includes an order form for a special sesquicentennial edition of Valley Leaves.
  • "The Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal; Sometimes it's harder to secure a neighborhood at home than a beachhead abroad. Make a difference; Volunteer!"

  • "The production of large tanks for cryogenic fuels"

    Archive copy is a poor photocopy. Prepared for presentation at Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Raketentechnik und Raumfahrt. (German Society for Rocket Technology and Astronautics). Given by E. Harpoothian, Chief Engineer, Structures Department, Development Engineering.; Tanks for cryogenic fluids, as used in the Saturn space vehicles, have reached an advanced stage of design and development. Many of the structural features of the NASA/Douglas Saturn tanks, fabricated of 2014-T6 aluminum alloy, were first developed for the booster of the Thor ballistic missile, which later found extensive use in putting space vehicles into orbit. There is a mutual dependence of important factors related to design concepts, selection of materials, processing techniques, and fabrication methods. It is shown that this mutual dependence must be considered if a successful vehicle is to emerge from design and development. Details of vehicle structure, provision for insulation, and manufacturing methods are presented. Criteria for the selection of materials is shown to be dependent on strength, ductility, weldability, toughness, fabricability, behavior at cryogenic temperatures, and on manufacturing methods and inspection techniques.
  • "The program manager's problem"

    Included in "First Annual Logistics Management Symposium," Huntsville, Alabama; Archive copy is a poor photocopy. Describes the stages of rocket-development/launch and the logistical problems with each.
  • "The reliability of the all-up concept."

    Prepared for George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama under contract NAS8-11087. Publication No. 294-02-12-440. Special Technical Report No. 13.; INTRODUCTION: The Saturn/Apollo Systems Office at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) requested ARINC Research Corporation to make a brief study of the reliability aspects of the All-Up concept. Under the requirements of Task 294-02 of Contract NAS8-11087, the study included a comparison between the reliability of the first Saturn V vehicle if All-Up, and its reliability with dummy upper stages.
