Whether or not this Bellerby Globemakers' production has accompanying
notes, the following articles might profitably be consulted:-

'The President's globe' by †Arthur H. Robinson, in: /Imago Mundi/ (ISSN
0308-5694), 1997, 49, 143-152: ill. (maps, portr.) + 23 notes & refs
(“The story of these globes is based on the recollection of the author,
who was involved in the map making” – Summ.)

And, for those more interested in similar contemporary projects, a
related article ‘The President’s map cabinet’ by †John B. Garver Jr, in:
[ditto], 153-157: ill. (maps, portr.) + 19 notes & refs (involves the
National Geographic Society’s work)

To complete these two presentations there is also ‘The Prime Minister’s
globe and map cabinet’ by Christopher Board and Catherine Delano Smith,
in [ditto], 157-159, with ‘Table 1 [of 1!]: Contents of Winston
Churchill’s National Geographic Society Map Case at Chartwell’
(summaries in E, F, & D)
