T.O.M. Microfilm Reel 217
(Original designation Navy reel 5939-8) 
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 (item 3 below, 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.
