Here's a fairly short study from June 1968 entitled "Summary of 260 inch Solid Rocket Launch Studies from June 1965 to May 1968" by Bellcomm. It has a lot of interesting stuff on the 260 inch SRM proposed for a first stage replacement for Saturn IB, and some VERY novel launch facilities! Who'd have ever thought of launching a Saturn IB from a MISSILE SILO!
At any rate, this should go hand-in-hand with the Saturn IB studies related to SRMs both singularly and in clusters to replace or augment the Saturn IB first stage.
Enjoy! OL JR
