Box 125 contains cards entitled E.A.I.s. This is an unidentified abbreviation, possibly meaning Engineering Advisory Information, associated with changes made to aircraft drawings. E.A.I.s are in numerical order from number S 31 – 18222. After this numerical section, the E.A.I.'s are separated by project. Box 126 appears to contain drawing releases regarding Bellanca aircraft, while Box 127 contains drawing releases regarding the Bellanca Corporation's subcontracting pursuits. Used in conjunction with E.A.I.'s, Drawing Releases appear to be forms used to record dates that various changes were made to the drawings.
