[Milsurplus] Defense Department Drawings found on Computer cards - ?

[Francesco Ledda]

These look like standard computer cards with a DoD watermark and a 35mm
slide embedded.

When a product was completed and released to the DoD, the defence contractor
provided a complete set of blue drawings in that format.

The only archiving that I am aware of was to microfiche but not on aperture
cards.  The ones that I got from NTIS between 1989 (or probably earlier,
that's about as far back as my A/P records go) and 1995 were film roughly
3x4 with a white or yellow strip across the top.  In the 80's and back I was
still getting original hard copy.  The first one that I got was on the
I-199, which is a WW-II vintage dynamotor and generator tester.  At the time
I first ordered the manual originals still existed but had for some dumb
reason been classified above my pay grade.  By the time I got around that,
only the fiche were available.
