Burroughs Corporation records. Mechanical library. 1920-1968

http://special.lib.umn.edu/findaid/xml/cbi00090-056.xml

The mechanical library was essentially a set of service books that described each machine. There were variations like instruction books, symbol lists, shop tool lists, and feature prints (blueprints). These were kept by the patent department. The way Burroughs identified different machines changed over the years, and sometimes included a style #, a class #, a series #, or any combination of these.
