This photo collection is one portion of my collection of History of Computing Information documents (seminal reports, 200+ pages online).
Here is a collection of high resolution 400 dpi scans made by Mike Muuss for his Computer History archive. All of them were scanned on a Canon CLC-500 color scanner/printer.

Thanks to Harold Breaux for the loan of many of the photographs
which I scanned.
Thanks to the staff of the ARL Technical Library
for opening the vault in Bldg 311 and permitting me access to the BRL
archives. I found many valuable documents and photographs there,
some of which I believe to be the only surviving copies.
Kudos to the past and present
librarians for preserving two whole stacks full of
historical information from the ravages of military inspectors
who rarely seem to appreciate the value of "old books".
