Arrangement
For the most part, the Notebooks lack a strong sense of internal organization. In some cases, multiple copies of the same report were bound in separate volumes or a single report or set of notes was split up and bound in separate volumes. This organization has been retained to preserve Paul Reiter’s original order. Any inconsistencies in order, as well as the existence of multiple copies, are noted in the individual file unit records. Original order.
