Overall view of a LOX dome.

On either side of the LOX dome are the oxidizer inlets, to which the main LOX valves would be attached.

Around the periphery of the LOX dome are the holes for the outer dome attach bolts, which would attach the LOX dome and injector to the thrust chamber. At about the 8:00 position (as the LOX dome is presented in this photograph) is part of a bracket to which would attach one of the support rods for the interface panel.

At about the 5:00 position is a bracket to which a support strut from the Engine Rotating Sling G4050 would attach. The rotating sling was used to rotate an engine from the horizontal to vertical position, or vice versa.

Just clockwise of the 3:00 position is the flange for the line supplying high-pressure LOX to the heat exchanger.

The large holes with the dome sealing plugs, covers for the inner dome attach bolts which help hold the LOX dome to the injector.

The long bolts on the inner-most ring attach the gimbal bearing to the LOX dome.
