View of an explosive screw access door (or rather, the compartment behind the door).

Picture 2 of 3.

The center unit and combined aft unit/warhead section were joined during flight by explosive screws; the aft unit had six ball fittings which extended into compartments like this in the center unit, allowing the explosive screws to be installed.
