The Sanford L. Cluett Papers feature a series of seven notebooks, and various oversize certificates. The notebooks include one volume containing RPI student surveying exercises (1896), and six others primarily documenting Cluett's work for the Walter A. Wood Mowing & Reaping Machine Co. (1914-1919). The business notebooks focus on Cluett's visits to machinery manufacturing plants throughout Europe and north Africa (1914), and the U.S. They include notes, diagrams and short diary entries relating to the design and manufacture of mowers, reapers, tractors, etc., and the administration of the plants. In addition, ammunition manufacture is mentioned, and the last notebook contains a few notes regarding Cluett's work at Cluett, Peabody & Co. The miscellaneous papers contain Cluett's 1923 professional engineering license application, trustee meetings agendas (1940-1942) covered with sketches, and other sketches. The oversize certificates (1898-1963) include certificates of appreciation, and pieces relating to memberships (such as ASME) and the military.
