At that time there were about 10 Scientologists on staff, the gardeners, housekeeper, chauffeur, Ron's secretary, and the menu typist who I worked with were not Scientologists. I worked in a basement room handling addresses and central files. In this same room Joan Watson ("jw" on the lower left of all issues) worked part-time. She duplicated the bulletins and policy letters which Ron Hubbard wrote. He worked at night and when we came in at 9 o'clock in the morning there was a pile of handwritten papers on her desk (red ballpoint for bulletins, green ball point for policy letters) which was a policy letters and bulletins Ron had written in the night. She worked speedily making stencils, either typing directly on the stencil (for non-remimeo issues), or for remimeo issues typing on a sheet of paper and then making (I guess) five or six stencils on a rotary machine which burnt the stencils.

There were some three thousand stencils, representing some thousand issues. The previous incumbent(s) had not filed stencils in an orderly manner after use and thus it was practically impossible to keep the stocks of issues up to date, let alone supply the Saint Hill Briefing Course with issues for new students.

Red and Green Volumes
L. Ron Hubbard was keen to have all stages of his research recorded for future use. He did this mainly orally with taped lectures, and textually. This article concerns the history of his textual writings with the exception of the printed and bound books. The majority of what he wrote, apart from printed books, was recorded in what he called Policy Letters and Bulletins and these were compiled into what we colloquially call the Red and Green Volumes.
Loads more to do.

East Grinstead years
Experiences of Antony Phillips
I (Antony A Phillips (talk) 13:38, May 29, 2016 (CDT)) joined Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) staff in August 1964, replacing Joe Breeden who went back to USA. At that time there were about 10 Scientologists on staff, the gardeners, housekeeper, chauffeur, Ron's secretary, and the menu typist who I worked with were not Scientologists. I worked in a basement room handling addresses and central filesA collection of files, one for every person who has ever bought something from an organization, gathered together in the one location in the organization. (BPL 17 May 69R). In this same room Joan Watson ("jw" on the lower left of all issues) worked part-time. She duplicated the bulletins and policy letters which Ron Hubbard wrote. He worked at night and when we came in at 9 o'clock in the morning there was a pile of handwritten papers on her desk (red ballpoint for bulletins, green ball point for policy letters) which was a policy letters and bulletins Ron had written in the night. She worked speedily making stencils, either typing directly on the stencil (for non-remimeo issues), or for remimeo issues typing on a sheet of paper and then making (I guess) five or six stencils on a rotary machine which burnt the stencils. She ran off copies for all Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) staff, and in the casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) of non-remimeo issues she ran off three copies for each central orgShort for organization. (HCO PL 8 Sept 69).
I left this postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) (many interesting things happened irrelevant here!). And perhaps 18 months later I found myself in "charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more" of Mimeo (duplicating) in a much enlarged Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R). I was put there after being ComEved off a recruiting postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) (i.e.disgraced). The area was a mess.

This was a serious conditionA condition is an operating state. (SH Spec 62, 6505C25) with its roots in my area (which was in Division II) and with its effects in training in Division IV.
