Glad you enjoy it everyone!
Happy to be of service to the community.
It has given me so much over the years; feels good to give back.

Yes, the filenames are the pages in numerical order. That includes some loose leaf pages found between pages bound in the 3 ring binder. I did not alter the sequence.

Agreed, it should be organized to be more meaningful/searchable. But that comes later.
Like any archaeological dig - you document everything in-situ before moving anything around. My primary concern was to record and disseminate the raw data for posterity as this is a unique item.

I'm still amazed at all the work they did with pencil and paper. Sure, I know the tech timeline, and I know that's what they had at the time. But seeing this notebook really drives that point home. It makes the 'Small Calculator Project' even more impressive! You know the old 'build a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins' sort of thing.
