In this thread, there'll be Public EARLY Titan and atlas satellite-launcher operator and launcher manuals, plus 1990s Long March 2 and 3 rocket export version satellite user's manuals.
Public atlas rocket manuals are in the 1st post of this thread.

Atlas was the first us long-range rocket, it was a 1.5 stage design with an ultra light fuel container, which is its interesting feature.
Depending on this feature, the original rocket was thoroughly modified to a completely different rocket atlas v, establishing a rocket family.
Atlas V is currently in operation, but it's completely different from atlas early version.
Public early Atlas manuals are in there in this folder:

Atlas V is a thoroughly improved rocket, which is completely different, these atlas v manuals are published by ULA official website Atlas V:

In the second post of this thread, there're public early titan launcher's manuals.

Titan I was the second American 2-stage liquid rocket following the rocket Vanguard, and titan ii was an upgraded version of titan I.
Titan I spec:
Size
Height31 m (102 ft)
Diameter3.05 m (10.0 ft)
Mass105,140 kg (231,790 lb)
Stages2
1st stage Engines1 LR87-AJ-3
Thrust1,900 kN (430,000 lbf)
Specific impulse290 seconds
Burn time140 seconds
PropellantRP-1/LOX
2nd stage Engines1 LR91-AJ-3
Thrust356 kN (80,000 lbf)
Specific impulse308 seconds
Burn time155 seconds
PropellantRP-1/LOX
Which means that titan I has similar characteristics with Atlas I (First generation), but it's more efficient because of its more advanced second-stage design.
Titan I also had a capability of satellite-launching similar with atlas rocket, but unfortunately the first generation of Titan did not converted into a satellite launcher, which was a pity.
However, some old titan tech manuals could be a historical reference for satellite launchers, many of which were unclassified.

In the third post of this thread, there're 1990s old version long march 2 and 3 (export version) public satellite user's manuals.
Long march 2 and 3 are the first rockets of China approved to serve the overseas satellite users as customers.
They have similar capacity with atlas and titan ii carrier rockets.

The tech developed for the export version Long march 2E was later converted into Long march 2F rocket, which is the manned carrier rocket of China.
Long march 3B was also developed from long march 2E, which was the largest rocket of China in 1997.
