I grew up during the cold war. No home library, particularly one in an "Atomic Ranch," should be without the 1962 Department of Defense best-seller "Family Shelter Designs."
Family Shelter Designs, Department of Defense, Office of Civil Defense, Publication H-7, 1962.
PDF, searchable, 2MB: http://www.waynekirkwood.com/images/pdf ... s_1962.pdf
We upload a lot of the off-beat stuff here. I always thought the A-frame shelter on page 23 looked cozy.
The SmartMeter instruction manual is always a top download. Let's see if Family Shelter Designs makes it. I found a copy on eBay for $9.95. So far I've found at least two here at the 'ranch.
