They should be read as "Engineering Drawing System" and "Shuttle Drawing System" respectively. As far as I know these are two names for the same thing, namely the database or organisation of shuttle drawings at NASA. Mabye these shouldn't be on the list at all because they aren't connected to space travel in general but rather a NASA concern. Please teach me if I have gotten this all wrong. Regards Jonas Olson
