Miscellaneous related, but separate papers. This item includes two annotated diagrams, Autopilot Control Panel, and Servo Unit Mechanical Schematic. It also includes a notebook page with student notes on operation of the autopilot. A scrap of paper, probably torn from a military magazine, indicates the autopilot is no longer classified. It is undated.

Have same copy. I was repairman on the C-1 at San Angelo Army Air Base, San Angelo, TX 1944-45. It was a bombardier school. Also, trained on the Norden Bombsight at Lowry Field in Denver. Brings back many memories.
