Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. . [2], 10 pages. Illustrations. Broad area map of the Trinity Site and surrounding area is facing page 1. Map of the site on page 10. The image on the front page is of the world's first atomic device as it waited in the shelter atop the 100-foot steel tower. The text describers the first atomic test, Jumbo, and the George McDonald Ranch Hours. This is followed by End Notes, Bibliography and a short description of The National Atomic Museum. Photographs appear on pages 7, 8, and 9. Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test was conducted in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what was then the USAAF Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, now part of White Sands Missile Range. The only structures originally in the vicinity were the McDonald Ranch House and its ancillary buildings, which scientists used as a laboratory for testing bomb components. A base camp was constructed, and there were 425 people present on the weekend of the test. The code name "Trinity" was assigned by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, inspired by the poetry of John Donne. The test was of an implosion-design plutonium device, informally nicknamed "The Gadget", of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. The complexity of the design required a major effort from the Los Alamos Laboratory, and concerns about whether it would work led to a decision to conduct the first nuclear test. The test was planned and directed by Kenneth Bainbridge. Fears of a fizzle did lead to the construction of a steel containment vessel called Jumbo that could contain the plutonium, allowing it to be recovered, although ultimately this was not used in the test. A rehearsal was held on May 7, 1945, in which 108 short tons (96 long tons; 98 t) of high explosive spiked with radioactive isotopes were detonated. The Gadget's detonation released the explosive energy of about 25 kilotons of TNT (100 TJ). Observers included Vannevar Bush, James Chadwick, James Conant, Thomas Farrell, Enrico Fermi, Richard Feynman, Leslie Groves, Robert Oppenheimer, Geoffrey Taylor, Richard Tolman, Edward Teller, and John von Neumann. The test site was declared a National Historic Landmark district in 1965, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places the following year.

Booklet. Condizione: Very good. Format is approximately 7 inches by 8.5 inches. Unpaginated (16 pages plus covers). Illustrations. Reading List. Illustrated front and back covers. Inside the back cover is a drawing of the patch which was issued to military personnel who participated in the Manhattan Project. This provides an overview of the Trinity Site and the first atomic test event. Major headings are: Radiation at Trinity Site; Typical radiation exposures for Americans; Trinity Site National Historic Landmark, with subsections on The Manhattan Project, The Theory, Building a test site, Jumbo, Bomb Assembly, The test, After the explosion, It's the Schmidt house, and Afterwards. There is also a brief section on the White Sands Missile Range. Laid in is a single sheet approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches printed on one side presenting the Entry Rules, of which there are thirteen numbered items (numbers 10 to 13 are not technically a rules but guidance and direction). The sheet has been folded in half to fit inside the booklet. Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon.

Cover has some wear and soiling. This publication was provided for resident instruction at the U. S, Army Missile and Munitions Center and School. It reflects the then current thought of the school and conformed to printed Department of the Army doctrine as closely as possible. The mission of the US Army Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center & School is to ensure the combat commander is supported during Army, joint and combined operations by developing doctrine, materiel, CSS concepts, requirements, and organizational structure. The School is also tasked with producing mission focused, motivated ordnance officers, warrant officers, soldiers, and civilians who are technically competent in the munitions management, explosive ordnance disposal, electronic and missile maintenance, and test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment arenas. Redstone Arsenal (RSA) is a United States Army post and a census-designated place (CDP) adjacent to Huntsville in Madison County, Alabama, United States and is part of the Huntsville-Decatur Combined Statistical Area. The Arsenal is a garrison for a number of tenants including the United States Army Materiel Command, Army's Aviation and Missile Command, the Missile Defense Agency of the Department of Defense, and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. RSA has benefited from decisions by the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The Redstone Arsenal CDP had a population of 1,946 as of the 2010 census. The base contains a government and contractor workforce that averages 36,000 to 40,000 personnel daily. Originally a chemical weapons manufacturing facility for World War II, in the immediate post-war era it became home to the German rocket scientists that were brought to the US as part of Operation Paperclip. The team first worked on ballistic missiles, starting with V-2 rocket derivatives before moving on to a series of ever larger designs. Many of their tests were carried out at White Sands Missile Range and flights between the two locations were common. In late 1956 the Army was relieved of most of its ballistic missiles in favor of similar weapons operated by the US Air Force. The German design team was then spun off to become part of the newly founded NASA. Redstone served as the primary site for space launch vehicle design into the 1960s. In March 1952, the commanding officer at Redstone Arsenal officially established the Provisional Redstone Ordnance School. In December, the Ordnance Guided Missile School (OGMS) was established, taking over the provisional operation. The OGMS greatly expanded through the years, occupying a large land area with many buildings and providing a wide variety of missile and munitions courses for thousands of students from the U.S. as well as many foreign countries. The name was later changed to the Missile and Munitions Center & School in 1966 and then to the Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center and School in the mid-1980s. In 1994, the School Brigade disbanded and was replaced by the reformed 59th Ordnance Brigade, which had previously disbanded in Europe in 1992. The school was then renamed the Ordnance Munitions and Electronic Maintenance School in 2002 and moved to Fort Lee in 2011.

This exceptionally dense technical archive documents U.S. Army rocket and missile development during the height of the Cold War and Vietnam War, originating from the estate of a retired aerospace engineer, Thomas T. Howell, affiliated with the U.S. Army Missile Command, with direct work conducted at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The materials capture the applied, test-driven reality of American rocketry at the moment when battlefield rocket systems, solid-fuel propulsion, and rapid-deployment tactical missiles became central to U.S. military doctrine. Of particular importance is the archive's sustained focus on field testing, propulsion diagnostics, firing mechanisms, and structural integrity analysis, with repeated references to multi-stage motors, booster threads, nozzle pressure profiles, thrust measurement, strain-gauge instrumentation, and dynamic propulsion testing under operational conditions. The presence of Vietnam-era documentation situates this archive squarely within the escalation of U.S. missile and rocket deployment in Southeast Asia, when systems such as the Little John rocket and related short-range artillery rockets were actively refined, tested, and evaluated for combat reliability. Collection includes; 2 original testing mechanisms; a 16mm film roll documenting a test launch; over 40 original photographs showcasing different testing sites and rocket units; over 40 hand drafted graphs on red paper; several hand written pages of calculations with formulas and schematics; several signed printed documents signed regarding the procedures for assembly static test flight weight booster motor components all dated in the summer of 1969; and a heavily annotated blueprint. Redstone Arsenal, established in the early Cold War and shaped by the integration of German rocket scientists after World War II, became the intellectual and engineering hub of U.S. Army missile work, where propulsion systems, launch mechanisms, instrumentation, and tactical doctrines were conceived, refined, and standardized. White Sands Missile Range, by contrast, functioned as the proving ground where theory met reality. This Redstone-White Sands pipeline allowed the United States to move rapidly from concept to deployable weapon. The archive comprises a combination of original testing hardware, primary testing documentation, photographic evidence, and engineering drawings and graphs, offering a nearly end-to-end view of the rocket development and validation process. Included is an original Electrical Output Firing Mechanism Tester for rocket launchers, which is distinctly labeled for testing electrical firing mechanisms with milliwatt-second measurements, a piece of surviving test equipment seldom encountered outside institutional collections; a rubber ring with conductive instrumentation in the interior, a ring-type electromagnetic integrator or pickup coil used to measure missile velocity by electrically integrating acceleration over time with the central aperture allowed a magnetic core, conductor, or shaft associated with missile motion to pass through; extensive hand-plotted K&E bar graphs, trajectory charts, acceleration and velocity curves, displacement diagrams, and launch-segment data sheets, many executed on period engineering graph paper with handwritten annotations calculating thrust, pressure, acceleration (in g's), and burnout timing; a substantial group of typed Army test procedures and data-requirement documents, several signed and approved by supervising engineers, details assembly procedures, static and dynamic propulsion tests, booster motor configurations which include tapered buttress threads and pin joints, strain-gauge placement, chamber pressure measurement, and photographic documentation protocols; and a blueprint with extensive handwritten calculations in areas surrounding schematic drawings titled "Revisions -- Body, Pressure Transducer" dated 1969. The calculations mention error rates "at 0.4% to 0.6% due to boost acceleration." These documents reveal the rigor of U.S. Army missile testing culture, where every firing was instrumented, recorded, and analyzed as part of an iterative engineering feedback loop. A binder containing over 40 original photographs, many stamped on the verso identifying the various locations and rockets such as "LITTLE JOHN" and "WHITE SANDS" on glossy photo paper, shows test stands, firing sequences, hardware setups, and missile components in both black-and-white and color. These images provide rare, ground-level views of rocket testing infrastructure and procedures at one of the most historically significant U.S. missile ranges. Also present is 16mm film, apparently documenting test-stand or firing activity; the film appears physically intact and represents a rare moving-image record of Army missile testing during the era. Completing the archive are large-format blueprints and technical drawings, including a detailed pressure-transducer body schematic bearing U.S. Army Materiel Command identifiers, Redstone Arsenal attribution, and extensive handwritten calculations, direct evidence of hands-on analytical work by an engineer engaged in real-time problem solving under Cold War weapons development pressures. Materials show expected handling and working-archive wear consistent with active engineering use: edge wear, folds, staple and paper-clip rust, toning, and some stains to paper; handwritten calculations and annotations throughout; photographs generally well preserved with strong contrast; hardware tester shows surface wear and oxidation consistent with age and field use; 16mm film appears physically sound but untested. Overall very good condition. This archive represents a rare primary source for the study of U.S. Army rocketry, missile engineering, and weapons testing during the Vietnam War and late Cold War period. Its combination of original equipment, signed technical procedures, analytical charts, photograp. Signed.
