Who's got pics of the BLU-97/B?

Here is a BLU 97 A/B if it's of any help. (Don't mind the duck, it was a sort of copyright in photos at the time).

Outstanding, Harvey, thank you.
What confuses me is that I know for sure that the CEM was made in the KSAAP, hence the markings ought to be something related.

What does the HWK mean on the side then???
Someone have access to an online code manufacturer's book?
 
It took a bit of digging around, but the document you want is MIL-HDBK-1461A. I found a copy on www.docstoc.com, but you will need to register (free) and have cookies enabled to download it (800KB). Don't confuse this with MIL-STD-1461E which is also out there, this is an older document and had issues with the .pdf download file when I tried.

(To save you a bit of time, HWK is given as HONEYWELL INC, DEFENSE SYSTEMS DIVISION, KANSAS ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT, PARSON, KS 67357-9106).
 
Thank you again, Harvey. Keep in touch.
-Dave

You have helped me a lot.
