Hi,

I'm looking for drawings of the Mercury Capsule with full-scale dimensions if possible.

I've found several general drawings on the web and I have made a few measurements from real capsules. But I am still missing a lot of detail when it comes to things such as capsule skin detail and the size of the various control panels.

Any help in sourcing my drawings would be great. Many thanks.

I don't have the book in front of me, but I believe Curt Newport's book (Don't have title at the moment) on the recovery of LibertY Bell 7 may have a CD ROM with some drawings, at least of the shell and skin. This was necessary for him to figure out how to secure and lift the capsule.
