"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Morris Jeppson hand annotated blueprint of the ''Little Boy'' atomic bomb. Jeppson designates parts of the bomb and writes in part, ''…During the flight I removed 3 green electrical plugs and replaced them with red coded plugs. This allowed the detonation voltage to go from fusing to the explosive that fired the projectile of U235 into the target of U235 when the bomb reached about 1500 feet above Hiroshima.'' He signs ''Morris Jeppson / Weapon Test Officer / Enola Gay Mission / HIROSHIMA - 6 Aug. 1945.'' 24'' x 18'' document is near fine.
