I am looking for a copy of AFMTC Reg 205-10 (or maybe AFETR Reg 205-10) Attachment 1. This document would list the area numbers on Cape Canaveral SFS such as Area 55 or 59. They were used for badging in the late 1950's through early 1960's. They are no longer used for badging but some area numbers are still in use for describing the certain areas. Here is the list of known area numbers: <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>3 Mercury Control Center /TEL#3 <LI>11 Pad 11 <LI>12 Pad 12 <LI>13 Pad 13 <LI>14 Pad 14 <LI>19 Pad 19 <LI>38 Building AE <LI>39 Bomarc/Delta Spin Test <LI>41 Hangar C <LI>42 Hangar R <LI>46 Hangar H <LI>48 Hangar J <LI>49 Hangar M <LI>51 Hangar S <LI>52 Hangar U <LI>55 Delta Operations Support Area/ Guidance Missile Control Facility #1 <LI>57 Delta Spin Test Facility? <LI>58 Delta Solid Rocket Motor Area <LI>59 Minuteman Assembly / Navstar & DSCS Processing <LI>60 Hangar AM <LI>60A ESA 60A?</UL></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Jim Behling</TD><TD>I have made some progress: <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Number Area <LI>1 <LI>2 RCC? <LI>3 Mercury Control Center /TEL#3 <LI>4 <LI>5 LC-56? <LI>6 <LI>7 AFSTF <LI>8 <LI>9 <LI>10 <LI>11 Pad 11 <LI>12 Pad 12 <LI>13 Pad 13 <LI>14 Pad 14 <LI>15 Pad 15 <LI>16 Pad 16 <LI>17 Pad 17 <LI>18 Pad 18? <LI>19 Pad 19 <LI>20 Pad 20 <LI>21 Pad 21/22 <LI>22 <LI>23 <LI>24 <LI>25 LC-25? <LI>26 LC-26? <LI>27 <LI>28 <LI>29 LC-29? <LI>30 Pad 30? <LI>31 Hangar O <LI>32 MM 31/32? <LI>33 <LI>34 Pad 34? <LI>35 <LI>36 Pad 36? <LI>37 Pad 37? <LI>38 Building AE <LI>39 Pad 3/4 Bomarc/Delta Spin Test <LI>40 Pad 1/2? <LI>41 Hangar C <LI>42 Hangar R & D <LI>43 Hangar E? <LI>44 Hangar F? <LI>45 Hangar G? <LI>46 Hangar H <LI>47 Hangar I <LI>48 Hangar J & K <LI>49 Hangar M <LI>50 Hangar N <LI>51 Hangar S <LI>52 Hangar U <LI>53 Hangar T? <LI>54 Hangar Y? <LI>55 Guidance Missile Control Facility #1/Delta Operations Support Area/ EOD <LI>56 GMCF#3/WECO/TGSF/TSF <LI>57 Blue Scout/Delta Solid Rocket Motor Area <LI>58 Hangar AA <LI>59 Minuteman Assembly / Navstar, DSCS & Dragon Processing <LI>60 SCB AM & AO <LI>60A ESA 60A? <LI>61 Hangar L <LI>62 AE Mace</UL> ? designates guesses.This is an example of what I had to do to find an area number (zoom in or look in unrelated photos).
