Invitation to Commencement Exercises
Los Angeles: Westlake School for Girls c1931. Presumed First Edition First printing. Single sheet printed on one side with thin protective sheet with small tears and envelop. Good. Format is approximately 9.25 inches by 7 inches. This sheet has been folded in half resulting in four panels. Only the front panel has text. This has been provisionally dated as 1931 as that is the first year after the school moved to North Faring Road where June 10th fell on a Wednesday. Text reads: Miss de Laguna and Miss Vance request the honor of your presence at the Commencement Exercises of the Westlake School for Girls on Wednesday morning June tenth at eleven o'clock seven hundred North Faring Road. This invitation was addressed to Miss Louisa Sterry believed to be the daughter of Norman S. Sterry famed California lawyer. Frederica De Laguna Frederica b. around 1874 was an American educator. Born in Oakland California c. 1874; Stanford AB 1896 Columbia AM 1904. With Jessica Smith Vance founded Westlake School for Girls in Los Angeles 1904 and Westlake Junior College 1924 later known as Holmby College. Founded by Jessica Smith Vance and Frederica de Laguna as a small college preparatory school in 1904 it was initially located opposite of Westlake Park. In 1917 the school moved to Westmoreland Avenue in the Wilshire district and then to the location at 700 N. Faring Road.; Originally constructed in 1928 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style the dormitory and complete campus were designed by Arthur Kelly and his associate Joe Estep. The design included exterior stucco walls tiled roofs and arches as decorative motifs towers corbel tables and wrought-iron balconies. The demolition of much of the campus followed the 1971 Sylmar earthquake. The Westlake School for Girls was established in 1904 by Jessica Smith Vance and Frederica de Laguna in what is now downtown Los Angeles California as an exclusively female institution offering both elementary and secondary education. It was so-named because it was near Westlake Park now known as MacArthur Park. At the time the school was a for-profit alternative to the already-established Marlborough School which had been established as a non-profit before the turn of the century. It moved to its present-day campus located on North Faring Road in Holmby Hills California in 1927. The school was purchased by Sydney Temple whose daughter Helen Temple Dickinson was headmistress until 1966 when Westlake became a non-profit institution. Shirley Temple the child star attended the school as did many who became notables in acting athletics and other endeavors Astronaut Sally Ride was an alumnae. The Temple family owned the school until 1977 with Dickinson serving in an ex officio capacity. In 1968 Westlake became exclusively a secondary school. The Harvard School for Boys was established in 1900 by Grenville C. Emery as a military academy on the site of a barley field located at the corner of Western Avenue and Sixteenth Street now Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles California. Emery was originally from Boston and around 1900 he wrote to Harvard University to ask permission to use the Harvard name for his new secondary school and received permission from the university's then-President Charles W. Eliot. As both schools continued to grow in size towards the late 1980s and as gender exclusivity became less of a factor both in the schools' reputations and desirability the trustees of both Harvard and Westlake effectuated a merger in 1989. The two institutions had long been de facto sister schools and interacted socially. Complete integration and coeducation began in 1991. Westlake School for Girls unknown

United States Army, The Ordnance School
The Ordnance Company Medium Maintenance The Ordnance Battalion Maintenance; Ordnance School Text OS 9-25
Aberdeen Proving Ground MD: The Ordnance School 1941. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Four-hole punched and held together with two two pronged clips. Good. Format is approximately 8 inches by 13 inches four-hole punched with two two pronged clips holding the text together. 3iii-vii 250 pages. Three pages of errata sheets. 18 appendices. 50 Figures. Printed single-sided only. Cover worn torn and soiled with some page wear and soiling noted. Pencil marks and notations on cover and some pages. The major portion of this text appears to be an early version of Field Manual No. 9-10 The Ordnance Company -Medium Maintenance; The Ordnance Battalion--Maintenance. It was apparently expected to be issued in July 1941 the the date of issue is blank. FM 9-10 Ordnance Field Manual Ordnance Field Maintenance was published on April 20 1942. There are substantial differences between this text and what was officially published as FM 9-10. This publication was intended solely for use as an Ordnance School text for instruction purposes only. It was not intended for general distribution to agencies or personnel outside the Ordnance training Center at Aberdeen Proving ground Md. It is reasonable to conclude that this instructional text was also a draft text for what would eventually become FM 9-10 and that the experience gained in its use at The Ordnance School contributed to the development of material changes. As such then this early version not labeled as a draft provides a significant and perhaps unique insight into the development of Ordnance doctrine training and practice at the Company and Battalion level at the time when the United States entered the Second World War. One page on Machine Gun Repairs to the M9197A1 laid in. The purpose of this manual was to present a coordinated and complete picture of the problem of ordnance field maintenance together with a logical solution of that problem. While this manual will be found to be helpful as a reference for operation of the maintenance organizations in garrison it was intended primarily as a guide for use in field operations. There are included in the various parts of this manual a discussion of a typical ordnance field shop and a method of conducting operations; a discussion of details pertaining to a typical maintenance company; and discussions of particular problems in ordnance field maintenance as they are encountered and solved. Except where obviously necessary in the interests of uniformity throughout all ordnance service it is not intended that this manual shall impose unnecessary restrictions on the imagination and initiative of ordnance personnel responsible for the operation of the units covered by this manual. On the contrary it is intended that the thoughts and imagination of such personnel will be stimulated to evolve more satisfactory solutions to the problems of ordnance field service. The organization of ordnance maintenance in the field army is based on the principle of progressive increases in available maintenance facilities from front to rear. The equipment and personnel assigned to each echelon are designed to carry the normal load of that echelon plus a certain peak load of the subordinate echelons. In Part I. The Ordnance Company - Medium Maintenance there are Chapters on General; Organization and Equipment; Operations; Duties of Individuals; and Administrative Details. Part II. The Ordnance Battalion Maintenance has Chapters on General and Operations. A list of appendices follow and are in turn followed by the list of Figures. There are specific discussions of ordnance weapons and vehicles and materiel. There is significant discussion of the inspection of ordnance materiel especially ammunition. The Ordnance School unknown

On 31 July 1942 the Department of War recognized the need for a single manager of Army transportation and created a new branch the Transportation Corps. Since the Revolutionary War Army transportation had evolved through two branches the Quartermaster Corps and the Corps of Engineers. The demands of World War I made the Army first realize its need for a single manager for military transportation. So began an evolution over the next quarter century that culminated in the birth of the Transportation Corps during the opening months of World War II.<br /> <br /> The War Department directed the Quartermaster Corps to transfer the functions and responsibilities of truck and aviation units to the Transportation Corps by General Orders No. 77 on 24 July 1946. The same year the Transportation School consolidated all training except for drivers at Fort Eustis Virginia because of its intermodal rail and sea capability. In 1950 the Army turned over its deep-draft ships to the Military Sealift Command so the Army no longer had the largest navy in the United States military.<br /> <br /> That same year Brigadier General William B. Bunker convinced the Chief of Transportation Major General Frank S. Besson Jr. of the importance of helicopters in logistics. As a result in May the Army approved the organization of five helicopter companies with the first the 6th Transportation Company Helicopter activated in July 1952.<br /> <br /> In 1954 the Engineer Corps turned its landing craft over to the Transportation Corps making the Transportation Corps responsible for all modes of Army transportation. Coincidentally the Navy lifted the size limit on Army watercraft allowing the Army to build landing craft utility LCUs. This led the Transportation Corps to activate the 159th Boat Battalion.<br /> <br /> The Soviet threat against Europe provided the peacetime Army an enemy to plan against. In anticipation of the needs of the Army the Chief of Transportation directed and championed the development of military transportation. Contingency planners assumed the worst-case scenario in which the Soviet Union would use its bombers or worse yet its nuclear arsenal to destroy the fixed ports in France thus severing the vital lines of communication at their European end. This contingency required the Army to rely heavily on over-the-beach operations.<br /> <br /> The Transportation Corps is a Force Sustainment branch of the U.S. Army headquartered is now at Fort Lee Virginia and is responsible for the movement of personnel and matériel by truck rail air and sea. The Transportation Corps provides a full spectrum of transportation capabilities at the tactical operational and strategic levels of war. The Transportation School trains Soldiers to operate and maintain Army tactical trucks material handling equipment and watercraft. The school trains Transportation Operations Traffic Management Convoy Operations Cargo Transfer Cargo Documentation Movement Control Operation of Heavy Material Handling Equipment Sailing and Maintenance of Army Vessels and Unloading Aircraft Ships Railcars and Trucks.

Redstone Arsenal Alabama: U. S. Army Missile and Munitions Center and School 1967. Revised Edition. Wraps. Good. Staplebound at left side. 148 pages. Figures including photographs and drawings/diagrams and tables. Name in ink on front cover. 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 1946 as of the 2010 census. The base contains a government and contractor workforce that averages 36000 to 40000 personnel daily.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. U. S. Army Missile and Munitions Center and School paperback
