Ron Plante
loaned his copy of
A History of the Huntsville Division. It contains detailed descriptions and lots of photos about the construction of the SRMSC as well as the aborted Montana site. This info will be used for a new section about construction of the SRMSC (and Montana) sites.
Four sample photos (captions from the book):
