The Museum of American Heritage, Palo Alto, Calif., calls their newsletter
"MUSEUM UPDATE" with the museum name as a prominent subtitle, plus the
modernistic museum logo.  In the date line are the address, date and issue
number.

The Moffett Field Museum calls theirs "The SPARROWHAWK" (in honor of the
fighter biplane carried by Moffett's dirigible, the U.S.S. Macon), with the
subtitle "from lighter-than-air to faster-than-sound", plus a very clear
drawing of a Sparrowhawk.  In the dateline, in 10 or 12 point type, is
"Newsletter of the Moffett Field Historical Society" and the date, volume
and issue number.
