Avionic Equipment Research Library Collection, 1931-1992 (Bulk 1965-1992).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100122

The collection consists mainly of reports, memoranda, handwritten notes, diagrams, charts, drawings, specifications, manufacturers' product catalogs, articles and technical briefs pertaining to JPL Section 348's involvement with avionics technology and electrical engineering. Also, included are photographs and viewgraphs that illustrate the electrical components fabricated by Section 348. The collection is arranged in 679 file folders. The collection's Section File Clerk had filed materials in separate file folders and specifically labeled them by a subject matter or document number. The original order has been retained, although internal evidence in the files indicates the collection was originally a part of a larger numeric-filing scheme, here incomplete. The collection lacks any specific internal abstract description, overview or evaluation of JPL Section 348's activities. Most acronyms used are defined in Part L of Martha Martinez, editor, Abbreviations and Acronyms Guide, JPL 1030-30 Rev. A, May 1980. A copy is available in the repository.
