View of the nozzle extension igniter bosses.

Picture 2 of 2.

Pyrotechnic igniters would be screwed into these bosses prior to flight. The igniters would ignite the turbine exhaust gases after they entered the double-walled nozzle extension before they were vented into the main combustion chamber gas flow.
