While the '71 catalog is my heart's favorite (it was my first rocket catalog ever), the 1972 Centuri catalog was a wonderful production and featured an outstanding layout of images and products.

Great work on the Maverick!
I was fortunate to get a tour of the Centuri plant from Larry Brown.
They had two guys working at a light table doing paste up.
The 1971 catalog was primarily printed "Duo-tone" - two colors of ink on a white background.
I brought the 1974 catalog to the print shop I was working at to show it to the head artist. He was impressed.
I always liked that the models looked looked like they were in flight. |
