I will add references and photo's as I locate them. I was an engineer on the project with both Varian as well as Garrett. There is a photo of the projected line as well as the LASER projector in a book about the SR71 Blackbird but little explanation is given. I will reference the book when I locate it. Richard Malcom is notable in terms of his invention of the PVHD as well as being the first or second Canadian Astronaut in the shuttle program. He left the program without flying.

This is is my first article and any guidance is appreciated.

Unfortunately, your direct involvement creates a problem with conflict of interest guidelines. References are needed right away, otherwise your article may face deletion because it cannot be verified. Realkyhick 04:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Will the 4 references noted be enough to keep it alive until I find more? What is the test of the quantity/quality of the references? I added this artice because it is an unusual and noteworthy instrument that at the time was shrouded in secrecy due to the fact that at the time, the SR71 was a "black" project. Besides the individuals involved in development and testing and promoting, there are few that are likely to be in a position to write an article without some element of the conflict of interest. Only one or two articles were written in printed media in the 80's because of the secrecy at the time. I am working on locating these. Neuperg 02:08, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I think you're OK for now. If anyone did propose it for deletion, it would not be of the speedy variety, so you would at least have time to plead your case. But keep working. You're headed in the right direction. Let me know if I can be of help. Realkyhick 03:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Added a few more print references. Will look for more. Any other concerns or guidance? Neuperg 21:39, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

No, this is fine as far as sources and verification goes now. It does need some re-writing to fit Wikipedia style, but I think I can handle that, along with some others. I may need to send you a note here and there if I have a question.

I'm also moving the article to the full name of the device, leaving a redirect from PVHD, and adding a redirect from "Malcolm Horizon."

Good work, and thank you for your contribution. Please feel free to contribute more articles in your area of expertise. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:35, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
