I have three log books kept by the Space Division of North American Rockwell Corporation. The entries date from March 3, 1968 to March 29, 1969.

The content of these logs is similar to the Lunar Module Build Logs shown on Steve Jurvetson's personal Apollo collection.

The books contain the daily entries for each shift: the tests, the problems and the progress. The first entry, dating from March 3, 1968 announces that Policy Letter No. 10 requires a hard bound Log Book. From then on there are virtually daily entries through March 1969.

• Book 1 is titled:
  PROP
  F/C CRYO
  SUPV
  LOG 1

  299 pages 3/3/68 to 9/12/68

  Mentions construction details for S/C 101, Lots of entries for S/C 103 and 104, 106, some 107 (9/11/68 entry "S/C 107 ... Going slow due to low priority").

• Book 2 is titled:

  SC 108 PROP
  SC 108 PROPULSION LOG

  127 pages 10/9/68 to 3/26/69

  Almost all S/C 108. Some info on shipping S/C 107 (1/16/69 "Was reassigned to S/C 107 for this shift"), S/C 109 (2/4/69 "Commencing on S/C 109")

  The last two entries are for the dates of the July 20, 1969 the first moon landing and November 18, 1969, the second moon landing.

• Book 3 is titled: S/C 103, FC CRYO.

  94 pages, 4-23-68 to 8-7-68.
