The missiles and rockets used by today's
Army give the soldier unprecedented fire
power in any action ranging upward from
small guerrilla conflicts to all-out nuclear
war.

The Home Team ...
U.S. Army missiles are the proud products
of the people who stand behind them. More
than 12,000 men and women, military and
civilian personnel are engaged in this vital de
fense work at Redstone Arsenal. The Ameri
can soldier depends on the long experience
and know-how of these scientists, technicians,
engineers, secretaries and shopmen to develop
superior weapons and keep them operating
once they join the troops in the field.

It takes money - more than a billion
dollars a year - to provide these up-to-date
weapons for the Army. The Army missile
dollar is spent across the length and breadth
of America with more than 40 prime contrac
tors, 300 first-tier subcontractors and more
than 5,400 subcontractors in almost every
state of the union. The Army missile programs
at Redstone Arsenal support thousands of
jobs. The Army's local payroll alone means
$150 million annually. The Army rocket test
stands, missile firing range, development lab
oratories and other facilities scattered over
Redstone's 40,000 acres represent an invest
ment of more than $275,000,000.

�What we do ...
The Army put Redstone Arsenal and the
Huntsville community into the missile busi
ness in 1949. Since then missile units have
been stationed around the world but Redstone
Arsenal remains the home of Army rockets
and missiles.
I
Missiles are not manufactured at Redstone
-that job is done by private industry at
plants throughout the United States. At the
Arsenal missile systems are designed, tested
and managed. The Army is constantly at
work exploring new technology, checking to
see that Army missiles are ready to work
under the severest of conditions, and su
pervising the contracts awarded to private
companies which produce actual missile hard
ware. Soldiers who maintain the missiles are
trained here in the Army's only school de
voted to such instruction.
•
Short motion pictures explaining the work
done at Redstone Arsenal are shown fre
quently in an auditorium at the Army Display
which includes indoor exhibits explaining the
Army's different missile systems.
We hope you enjoy your visit. Your tax
dollars bought you a share in our operation.
Come back any time.
t I
And while you're here ...
The George C. Marshall Space Flight
Center, home of much of the research work
for America's civilian space agency, is adja
cent to Army activities at Redstone. The cen
ter also maintains an orientation and display
area open to the public. Directions to the
Marshall Center may be obtained at the Army
Display.
I
Why Missiles?
l
Exhibits and displays in this area have
been designed to give you some idea of the
scope and complexity of this world-wide ef
fort. We are proud of Redstone Arsenal and
the job being done here to defend you and
your family.
The Army Team at Redstone ... orbited
the Free World's first scientific earth satel
lite ...fired the Free World's first successful
deep space probe ...launched and recovered
the first primates to make a\ub-orbital space
flight ... pioneered the quick-reacting solid
fuel rocket motors now used in almost all
military missiles ... solved the missile re
entry problem with the first heat protected
nose cone ... scored the first intercept and
kill of an airplane with a guided missile ...
scored the first intercept and kill of a ballistic
missile with another missile ...proved that an
intercontinental ballistic missile could in fact
be intercepted in flight by a defensive missile
... and as a direct result of military research,
designed and built the world's first laser sur
gical tool for the internal treatment of human
cancer as part of a cooperative effort in which
Army experts here aided the National Insti
tutes of Health in exploring the possibilities
of destroying cancer cells with high energy
light.
The Record ...
Much of the Army work that goes on here
is shrouded in military secrecy. But we don't
have to talk about what we are doing-our
record speaks for itself.
The Army knows that missiles and rockets
do many jobs for the soldier better than any
other weapons. For example, they extend his
reach by hurling more destructive warheads
over greater distances than artillery guns.
They seek out and destroy airplanes and mis
siles flying faster and higher than the reach of
either fighter planes or guns on the ground.

Description
An account of the resource
Eleanor Newman Hutchens (October 9, 1919 to November 9, 2016) attended Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia, majoring in English and Greek. After receiving her B.A. in 1940, she attended the University of Pennsylvania, acquiring an M.A. and Ph.D. in English literature (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
Hutchens first held a part-time teaching position at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 1955, then joined the faculty with a full-time position in 1957. She taught English, her specialties the English novel, literary criticism, and 18th century literature. Hutchens also chaired the steering committee “for its initial accreditation and the first committee for the selection of majors,” and served as the first elected president of the Faculty Senate. She moved to Agnes Scott College in 1961, remaining there until 1966. She eventually returned to UAH and remained a member of its English department until her retirement in 1979 (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
Hutchens wrote prolifically over and after her career, publishing Irony in Tom Jones, Writing to Be Read, and “numerous articles in national and international journals” (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
Hutchens was very active even outside of her academic career, serving as "president of the Huntsville Hotel Company, owner of the Russell [sic] Erskine Hotel, and as a director of the Huntsville Land Company, the West Huntsville Land Company, and the Mountain Heights Development Company.” She was "a founder and charter member of the board of Randolph School," a board member of the Huntsville Public Library and the Huntsville Symphony, and "an active member of the [Episcopalian] Church of Nativity.” Hutchens was also a member of "the Historic Huntsville Foundation, the Huntsville Historical Society, the Botanical Garden, the Burritt Museum of Art, the Huntsville Museum of Art, and the Friends of the Huntsville Public Library” (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
