A 21-page typed Navy chronology, "Chronology of Factors and Events Influencing Purchasing World War II," with supplements and exhibits on the "Flow of Procurement in BuSandA: 1945," the Navy's Bureau of Supplies and Accounts. It lists, date by date from 1939 through 1945, the orders, agencies, priority systems and procedures that governed Navy wartime buying. A handwritten cover note says it came from the Naval Library in Washington, D.C., from "Norfolk Naval Shipyard in World War II, Vol. 1." It does not mention asbestos or insulation.
