Cold War Visual #1
Question #1: The reason for the limited availability of information pertaining to the Cold War is deliberate. The Archives administration has by their own admission digitized only a small percentage of the materials held within their cavernous fireproof stacks. They must want people to visit the Archives Administrations many sites around the nation.

Cross-section Sketch of Atomic Bomb , 03/12/1951
NARA's Northeast Region (New York City) (NRANA), 201 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014-4811
Context: This image plays a pivotal role in the escalation of arms at the beginning of the Cold War. It is a cross-section sketch of the atomic bomb. This information was not only critical but top secret. Obviously this was not written for US officials but is in fact written for another person or persons. Notice that the image is written on average notebook paper using pencil possibly and was used for evidence in a court case.
Questions:
- What is the image of?
- What purpose does this image serve?
- Who drew this image and why?

Please explain the Question 1 at the side - I'm a little unclear on its placement.
I found the beer!
You've got the beer hidden in your diagram. In answer to YOUR questions #1, I'm sure it's a close-up of the inside of an empty beer can, so we know where the beer is now!
Excellent posting!
Question #1 was the explanation of the limited availability of resources of the National Archives.
Thanks Jan. I have been so worried.
