Restrictions on Access: There are no restrictions on accessing material in this collection. However, researchers should note that the collection does not contain lists of parts used to build specific aircraft engines. On the other hand, because part numbers generally correspond with drawing numbers, drawings of specific parts can generally be located. Researchers should also note that part of this collection is stored off site. Therefore, please provide a minimum of three days advance notice to research this collection. Call 937-775-2092 or e-mail Special Collections and Archives at [email protected]. Researchers should provide specific information concerning the engine part, or parts, being researched.

Restrictions on Use: There are significant legal restrictions on the use of the drawings imposed by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation. The drawings may be used solely for non-commercial use such as historical research, exhibition, model-making, or for non-profit restoration purposes. Models or restored aircraft must remain inoperable and incapable of flight. Drawings may not be used to restore operable aircraft, engines, propellers, or appliances to an airworthy status or building flyable or

1

operable reproductions or restorations. Researchers are required to sign a use agreement prior to release of any drawings.

Preferred Citation: (Box Number, Folder Number), MS-356, Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical Engine Drawing Collection, Special Collections and Archives, University Libraries, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio

Acquisition: The collection was donated by Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems, Inc., Gastonia, N.C., through the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum on April 26, 2002.

Custodial History: The Curtiss-Wright Corporation Records were originally donated to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in 1969. In April 2002, the engine drawing portion of the collection was transferred to Special Collections and Archives, Wright State University, with the consent of Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems, Inc.

Location of Originals: The collection contains approximately 1300 rolls of microfilm. During the 1950s, the Curtiss-Wright Corporation microfilmed most of their engine drawings. Once the drawings were microfilmed, the drawings were destroyed.

Separated Material: The engine drawings and microfilm are located in the Special Collections and Archives off-site storage facility located on the campus of Wright State University.

Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements: The collection includes approximately 1300 rolls of microfilm containing engine drawings. A microfilm reader is required, and available, in the Special Collections and Archives Reading Room.

Related Material: Accession XXXX-0067, Curtiss-Wright Corporation Records, National Air and Space Museum Archives, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.

Processing Information: When received from the National Air and Space Museum it was discovered that the microfilm was infested with vinegar syndrome. As a result, the microfilm was copied on to new rolls of microfilm. During the process, a number of rolls were found to be too far gone for recovery and were destroyed. Also, some of the paper drawings were found to be mold damaged due to sitting in water for an extensive period of time. (Note: Apparently there was a leak in the storage facility housing the drawings that allowed water to seep into the metal storage files thereby damaging drawings in a number of drawers.) As much as possible, the mold-infested drawings were copied, but again, a number of the drawings could not be recovered.

Arrangement: The collection is arranged into five series:

Series I: Administrative Records Series II: Manuals Series III: Microfilm Series IV: Engine Drawings Series V: Tool Cards and Other Material

Biographical/Historical Note: On June 26, 1929, the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company merged with the Wright Aeronautical Corporation to form the Curtiss-Wright Corporation. After this merger, the former Wright organization took over all of the engine and propeller manufacturing, while Curtiss concentrated on airplanes. This merger was completed by organizing two major divisions under their original names, but under the direction of a corporate headquarters located in New York City. However, the election of former Wright personnel to key corporate positions soon led to Wright becoming the dominant division. At the height of the 1920s to 1930s airplane boom, the Curtiss-Wright Corporation was made up of the following organizations: The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company; the Curtiss Caproni Corporation; the Curtiss-Robertson Airplane Manufacturing Company; the Keystone Aircraft Corporation; the Moth Aircraft Corporation; the Travel Air Manufacturing Company; the Wright Aeronautical Corporation, Curtiss-Wright Flying Service; the Curtiss-Wright Sales Corporation; and the Curtiss-Wright Export Corporation. Curtiss-Wright was quickly becoming the General Motors of the Air until the great depression in October 1929. Sales dropped and Curtiss-Wright was forced to close certain satellite plants and transfer some of their product lines to the St. Louis facility. It appeared that that even the Buffalo plants would also have to close when Curtiss-Wright received an order from Columbia, South America for Curtiss Hawks and Falcons. This order saved the company keeping production lines open until new military and civil markets began to open up as the depression waned and the build-up for World War II began. During the U.S. military build-up prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, all existing Curtiss-Wright plants were expanded and new aircraft factories were built at Columbus, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky.

After the war, all major U.S. airplane builders, including Curtiss-Wright, were hit by massive contract cancellations. In 1946, Curtiss-Wright had only two experimental military models at hand for postwar delivery and no assurance of production orders. Curtiss-Wright also failed to make the transition from reciprocating engines to the design and production of jet engines and aircraft. During the war the company did not invest as much of its resources in research and development as other companies, having to spend much of its resources on keeping up with wartime production orders. After the war, aviation technology advanced rapidly. The final blow to the airplane division of the company came when the Northrop F-89 Scorpion was chosen over the Curtiss-Wright XF-87 Blackhawk. After the F-87 was cancelled in October 1948, Curtiss-Wright shut down the entire Aeroplane Division and sold the assets to North American Aviation. A second blow came when the Government gave the development of the Whittle jet engine to General Electric Corporation. From then on the company concentrated on reciprocating engines and propeller production for military transport and civilian airliners. However, the shift of

3

civilian and military aircraft to jets left the company with little of the old business. As a result, during the 1960s the company shifted production to components for aircraft and other types of equipment, such as nuclear submarines. The company still exists today as Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems, Inc.

Scope and Content: The Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical Engine Drawing Collection is a very large collection containing not only drawings of aircraft engine parts, but drawings of electrical power generators the company produced during the 1950s and 1960s. Researchers should be aware that to effectively use the collection, the researcher must know the engine part number. The collection contains a limited number of parts catalogs and manuals, but the collection does not contain all of the engines produced by the company.

Series I, Administrative Records, contains records concerning microfilming of the engine drawings. The records are sorted according to type of engine reciprocating, turbine, ram jet, after burner, test equipment and according to part number. With a part number, the researcher can locate when the drawing was microfilmed, the microfilm roll where the drawing is located, and the page number on the microfilm roll. Once the drawing was microfilmed, the drawing was destroyed. Curtiss-Wright microfilmed drawings up until the mid-1960s. Copies of the microfilmed were sent to Air Force bases with Curtiss-Wright engines for use by aircraft mechanics and technicians. This series also contains information on microfilming contracts.

Series II, Manuals, contains a limited number of overhaul manuals, service and maintenance manuals, engine specification manuals, and parts catalogs for a small number of engines. The manuals were removed from their binders and placed in folders.

Series III, Microfilm, consists of approximately 1300 rolls of microfilm located in four microfilm cabinets in the Special Collections and Archives off-site storage facility. To use the microfilm, researchers must know the exact roll and page where a part drawing is located. To obtain that information, see Series I. This series does not include all of the microfilmed produced by Curtiss-Wright. The National Air and Space Museum Archives kept a small number of rolls with the Curtiss-Wright Corporation Records and a few were lost due to vinegar syndrome infestation.

Series IV, Engine Drawings, contains over a thousand engine part drawings. The drawings are stored in two Hollinger boxes, three Record Center boxes, 55 map case drawers, and 990 2x2x48 drawing tubes, which are located in the Special Collections and Archives off-site storage facility. The drawings are organized according to size beginning with Size A (8 x 11) sheets through Size E (up to 96 inches long). Again, to effectively use this series the researcher needs to know the part number. The drawings are generally of parts not microfilmed, or the latest revision of a part that was previously microfilmed. As noted in the Processing Notes above, some of the drawings were lost due to mold damage prior to receipt of the records.

Series V, Tool Cards and Other Material, is an unprocessed portion of the collection. The series consists of five Record Center boxes and two file card boxes containing tool cards documenting

4

tools used in the production of Curtiss-Wright engines. There are also four Record Center boxes of Bostomatic machine tapes.
