CADO Accession List of Technical and Scientific Translations, revised 1 May 1950. CADO stands for Central Air Documents Office (of the Navy and Air Force).
The reports are identified by order no's., such as ATI 28 273. Here's a sampling:
Author: Fend
Order No.: ATI 19 072
Measures for Prevention of Damage to the Landing Gear of the ME 262, (GERM), 15 pp, October 1944, Me/262/148
(Beitraege zur Beseitigung der Fahrwerkschaeden der Me 262)
Author: Heerdt
Order No.: ATI 6 666
Single Place Fighter Fitted With DB-603 LM Engine P-1076, (GERM), 10 pp, August 1945, He/P 1076/Ber./1021
(Jagdeinsitzer P 1076 mit Motor DB 603 LM)
Author: Heil
Order No.: ATI 22 463
Report on Experiences With the AR 234 B (Long-Range Reconnaisance Airplane), (GERM), 55 pp, November 1944, Ar/B/343/44
(Erfahrungsbericht Ar 234 B (Fernaufklaerer))
Author: Not known
Order No.: ATI 32 498
Pressurized Cabin for Fighters, (GERM), 22 pp, July 1943, Me/262/189
(Druckkammer Me 262)
I included this latter report as I do have the translation. My copy is copied from one at the Air Force Museum library about 1958. The internal identifier page states:
"Me/262/189
R 4072 F 67-91
Translation NO. F-TS-2635-RE
Messerschmitt A.G.
Pressurized cabin for fighters (Druckkammer Me-262) Augsburg, Messerschmitt A.G., July-Nov. 1943 Germ. Secr. 22p, 1 fold diagr
ABSTRACT
Document is a collection of reports, discussing construction of pressurized cabins for Me-262, Me-163, and Me-109 fighter planes. Special consideration is given to
fresh air supply at various altitudes.
(5) (1) Cabins, Pressure (2) Airplanes, Pursuit (3) Oxygen equipment I. T
Me 2601 A
AIR DOCUMENT INDEX (TECH)
(GERMAN) T-2 Hq AMC USAAF"
The reel and frame no's. given are most likely from the massive microfilming effort undertaken at Wright Field after the war. These were summarized in the "Desk
Catalog of German and Japanese Air-Technical Documents." The microfilms, themselves, are now at the NASM's Garber facility.
Just where the original German documents are, I don't know. However, I do seem to recall that these were returned to Germany in the 50's.
Having the CADO index is all well and good, but there is no direct link to the Garber microfilms, i.e., knowing an ATI number doesn't get you to the document in
question. Can anyone add any clarification?
Regards,
Richard
