Guide for a typewriter

The invention relates to accessories for typewriters, and more particularly to an improved guide for use in aligning a sheet of paper preparatory to an application of typed indicia to selected spaces. The device includes an aligning plate pivotally mounted on a line guide having formed therein a plurality of aligned apertures. The plate is so positioned that an aperture is positioned immediately above a target area for a type slug so that a slug will imprint a character in selected spaces.

Apollo/Saturn 5 postflight trajectory: AS-512

The postflight trajectory is presented for the Apollo/Saturn V AS-512 flight. An analysis is included of the orbital and powered flight trajectories of the launch vehicle and the free flight trajectories of the expended S-IC and S-II stages. Trajectory dependent parameters are provided in earth-fixed launch site, launch vehicle navigation, and geographic polar coordinate systems. The time history of the trajectory parameters for the launch vehicle is presented from guidance reference release to Command Service Module (CSM) separation. Tables of significant parameters at engine cutoff, stage separation, parking orbit insertion, and translunar injection are included. Figures of such parameters as altitude, surface and cross range, and the magnitude of total velocity and acceleration as a function of range time for the powered flight trajectories are presented.
