Hi Jim:

The link

https://sites.google.com/site/helmetinfo/home/reference/contracts
is very interesting.  I checked Galvin Mfg Corp.
Starts at page 1232, all of page 123 and most of page 1234.
Total: $277,448,000

Have Fun,

1. The extent to which you can fix or improve something will be limited by how well you understand how it works.
2. Everybody, with no exceptions, holds false beliefs.
