Gagarin has notated the page: "(I am) heartily thankful to the employees of the "OKB" (= "Separate Construction Bureau," now known as the company "Energia" that constructed the spacecraft) for the "Vostok," built by you. Gagarin." Gagarin is essentially thanking the engineers for doing a good job in building his spacecraft. A fascinating piece. Attractive and unique. Minor edge faults should not detract.
