This directory contains reports that:

* Use BRL-CAD/GIFT/MAGIC/COMGEOM/etc. in some application.

* Describe related areas of technology (such as the
  1986 report about modeling projectile geometry.)

* Document more generally the history of BRL or ARL.

* Relate in some other fashion to the history of
  BRL-CAD but don't fit cleanly into the MAGIC, GIFT
  or BRL-CAD "bins."

This directory is intended to be inclusive, but for
reports that don't obviously fit into one of the above
categories a note should be added below so users
know what features of interest were responsible for
the report being added.

* 1918-07 Instructions for Training of the Tank Corps in France

  Potentially relevant to the proposed student project to model
  the Mark VIII tank.

* 1945-01 Summary of Airfoil Data NACA-TR-824

  Potentially relevant for a project to generate wing shapes from
  NACA specifications.

* 1947-05 Airplane Vulnerability and Overall Armament Effectiveness

  Early BRL airplane V/L study, has a number of detailed airplane drawings
  toward the back of the report.  Mostly interesting as part of the early
  background work at BRL.

* 1974-09 Development of a computer program to obtain ordinates for NACA-6 and 6A-series airfoils NASA-TM-X-3069

  Potentially relevant for a project to generate wing shapes from
  NACA specifications.

* 1984-02 The Multiple Device Queueing System

  Report by original architect of BRL-CAD

* 1987-03 Exploiting Symmetries in the Modeling and Analysis of Tires NASA-TP-2649

  Report collected as reference material for the tire procedural modeling tool.

* 1988-03 Anthropometric Survey

  Used as part of a student project for procedural creation
  of human models with varying sizes.

* 1989-03 Final Report - Missile Geometry Package 

  Contains an early evaluation of the Ballistic Research
  Laboratory's CAD package by CAC

* 1997-03 Airblast Loading Model for DYNA2D and DYNA3D
 
  Not currently CAD related, but a useful public test case if we were
  to hook in something like VegaFEM into BRL-CAD.
