Project Whirlwind Drawing Numbers
If the document itself says "project whirlwind" then you can presume DIC 6345
If not, use DIC indicated on document or delete MIT DIC element from xml file.
About series names:
Here are numbers for Whirlwind or Whirlwind related projects we've
identified from looking at "print" reports from the MITRE donation and also
early Servomechanisms Lab material we processed about 5 years ago when LIDS
transferred them. I think of 6345 and 7002 as the two central "whirlwind"
project numbers.
#6295, Aircraft and Stability and Control Analyzer project
#6345, Project Whirlwind
#6673, Air Traffic Control Project
#6782, Navy Fire Control
#7002, Project Whirlwind
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.

Additional Series info:
"This memorandum lists and describes the various types of reports and publications issued by the Digital Computer Laboratory. The following series are now standard:
1. SR-Series Summary Reports and Project Lincoln Division 6 Quarterly Progress Reports
2. R-Series Reports
3. E-Series Engineering Notes
4. M-Series Memoranda
5. A-Series Administrative Memoranda
6. L-Series Limited Distribution Memoranda"
In reel 12 there are some documents that appear to be a D-Series. This may refer to "controlled distribution"-- see Reel 2: MC665_r12_6D-108-2.pdf. How should we label these? --Todd
