T. O. M. Microfilm Reel 069

(Original Identification Reel 24B)

Table of Contents

Note from the editors – only selected documents from this microfilm reel have been completely processed and presented below in cleaned and grouped format (Bag 3425, Items 1-5 and Bags 1477/1478/1481 Items 1-3, identified by HTML links). The remainder of the reel is not related to the Fischer-Tropsch process, and therefore complete processing cannot be justified at this time.

We are, however, making the entire reel contents available in raw image format, although in a small number of relatively large files (rather than a very large number of small individual images). Anyone interested in pursuing the non-FT related material on this reel may find the document in these larger raw files.
