Title: Historical card file, 1945-1961.

In 1945, the Sperry Gyroscope Company, inc., established a project to document the history of the company and of the gyroscope in a file of 4 x 6 cards. By the time the project was abandoned in 1961, there were about 6,000 cards in two series. There was at one time a third "secret" file for classified projects. The information in the files was abstracted from a variety of manuscript and printed sources, including company, professional and government publications. The file gives an overview of over 60 years of the company's history.
