Project Whirlwind Drawing Numbers (I'm not sure how we want to name this series.  The documents don't have original series numbers.  See see Reels 24 and 25. --Todd)

Project Whirlwind Controlled Distribution Memo D6D-### (I'm not certain what the D-series memos are.  This is a guess as to how we might name them.  See Reel 2: MC665_r12_6D-108-2.pdf. --Todd)

I've never been able to tell exactly when but at some point 6345 was
"reissued" as grant # 7002. My sense is that 7002 became the number once
Whirlwind was up and running out of the development/building phase into
testing the SAGE project and other Lincoln Lab research from late 1952
through 58 or 59, but that's just a guess.  We do have a microfilm of early
DIC/OSP grant files, I've never looked at it to get to the specifics of this
question, but if a defined year for the start of 7002 would help sort it out
then we could get the grants microfilm from storage and take a look.

 In reel 12 there are some documents that appear to be a D-Series. This may refer to "controlled distribution"-- see Reel 212: MC665_r12_6D-108-2.pdf.  See also MC665_r27_6D-52-1-3.pdf in Reel 27. How should we label these? --Todd
