1910 "Compartment/Access", 30 Sep 1910, microfilm reel 32120-01, BB35 files. Used the AutoCAD created "Booklet of General Plans", 18 July 1944, to modify the differences. Quality of the 1910 microfilmed plans was to poor for use.

1912 Joiners (Outfitting Details):  Found on BB35 microfilm and printed to paper by Tom Scott.  I then scanned under enlargement, stitched pages together, and removed damage..

Not all exterior objects shown were installed by the 1914 commissioning

----Searchlights vertical, not horizontal

----No enclosed Pilot House (until October 1918)

----No 3" AA guns


12 March 1914 "General Plans and Data"  My  creation.  Found a reference to the 1914 as-built drawings but never found them so I made a set.  It is based on  the 1910 and 1912 above with verification from specific 1914 drawings and photos.  Modified the 1944 Autocad and created further cad drawings to complete the set.

1931 "Compartment/Access Plans", 8 May 1931, microfilm reel 32120-02, drawing number 163887, in the Battleship TEXAS files. Printed to paper, scanned then extensive editing to remove damage

1937  "Booklet of General Plans", 26 Jan 1937, C&R 17021, Alteration 2, Battleship TEXAS files. Each level scanned on multiple pieces of paper, stitched  together, inverted  to positive images and remove the damage

1944  "Booklet of General Plans", 18 July 1944, C&R 17021, Alteration 10. The AutoCAD was created by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept (except for the inboard profile and the mainmast) and a copy given to me.
I have never seen C&R 17021 Alterations 1 or 3 thru 9 for

1944a:  BB35 vs BB34.  "Booklet of General Plans" - BB35 1944 and BB34 1942
