Subject: seeking archival material for Reaction Motors, Incorporated


I'd appreciate any information on the whereabouts of any documents relating 
to the history of Reaction Motors, Inc., the New Jersey-based rocket 
technology innovator during the 1950s-1970 (RMI was the RMD division of 
Thiokol Corp. after 1958). I'd be interested in seeing Annual Reports and 
actual corporate records, especially those relating to the company's New 
Jersey facilities. Some material exists at the Smithsonian (internal 
company/employee newsletters, e.g.), but I have not been able to discover 
where internal corporate records went after RMDs demise in early 1970s (and 
Thiokol formed its subsequent corporate incarnations).

Thanks for any suggestions.
