New Discoveries!

This
week, I came across two library cards from the Honnold-Mudd Library dated back
to 1967! Considering the technological developments that have taken place
around us, it was fascinating to see an old library card, where the borrower
had to mention everything on paper, every time they borrowed a book. Looking
closely, one could see the mention of the Claremont Colleges from which the
borrower had to choose. Being a Claremont Graduate University (CGU) student, it
was interesting to learn that CGU used to be named as the Claremont Graduate
School (as mentioned in the card).

Coming
back to the digitization project, this week I worked on materials by Willis S.
Jones that focused solely on building of pipelines and pumping plants. Going
through the materials, I was able to understand that the process consisted of
preparing examination reports of the regions, drawing sketch maps of the plants
and pipelines, checking reports from the Los Angeles County Flood Control
District and preparing reports of rainfall and discharge measurements along with
the required mathematical calculations.
