I've always wanted to get a good, full size blueprints of the Saturn V or the V2 to frame and hand on the wall of my den. I originally wanted to frame a set of blueprints of "the gadget" that was set off during the Manhattan Project, but I knew that was too much to ask for.

good, full size blueprints of the Saturn V or the V2 That would be a lot of paper. You probably don't want the loftsman drawings, since they really are full scale. Ordinary engineerng drawings would be on 32X40 paper or something similar. A full set of drawings of the initial mechanicals would probably fill your den. Then the electrical, and then the logical one-wire, and then the truckloads of amended drawings. You'll need a room 40 X 40 and two clerks on roller skates.

I originally wanted to frame a set of blueprints of "the gadget" that was set off during the Manhattan Project Teller supposedly patented the staged Teller-Ulam fusion process. You could look up the patent. No I don't know the number, though I did read it in a book a long time ago.

I originally wanted to frame a set of blueprints of "the gadget" that was set off during the Manhattan Project, but I knew that was too much to ask for. Not really. The stuff you couldn't get would be the process specs, like how to refine the uranium, or forge/machine the plutonium without killing yourself. The drawings of the device itself are no big deal, and are probably available on the internet... if one knew where to look. You might start at www.fas.org. :)
