Several of the notebooks also bear the phrase "O&F" for "Ordnance and Fortification" --Langley received grants for his aeronautical work from the U. S. Army's Board of Ordnance and Fortification. Notebooks have been numbered in pencil on inside front covers. No attempt was made to decipher the shorthand entries.
