"Guided Missile Development Division, Ordnance Missile Laboratories, Redstone Arsenal will present the REDSTONE Missile System in two (2) volumes. a. Part I - REDSTONE Missile Components. b. Part II - Ground Handling Equipment. Since the tactical end-solution for the ground handling equipment is more advanced and most of the items can be displayed in their final tactical shape, this booklet has been prepared first. Inasmuch as the components for the missile itself, especially with respect to the guidance and control equipment, are still in R & D phase publication of Part I, "REDSTONE Missile Components" is not practical at this time."--From foreword.
