Like most engines of its time, the F-1 engine's thrust chamber is comprised of regenerative cooling tubes. As one might expect from rocket scientists, each of these tubes is numbered for identification purposes; certain tubes on the F-1 are marked in a way so that those of us who are not rocket scientists can identify them as well.

As described in the F-1 Engine Familiarization Training Manual (R-3896-1) [direct link to 16.8M PDF file at UAH's USSRC Archive]

The thrust chamber body is a furnace-brazed, tubular-walled, regeneratively fuel-cooled, bell-shaped chamber. . . . One hundred seventy-eight primary tubes, hydraulically formed from 1-3/32 inch outside diameter Inconel-X tubing, make up the chamber body above the 3:1 expansion ratio plane (approximately 30 inches below the throat centerline plane). Three hundred fifty-six one-inch-outside-diameter secondary tubes of the same material form the chamber from the 3:1 to the 10:1 expansion ratio plane. A raised weld bead with the tube number and a directional flow arrow, identify fuel-up tube No. 1 and fuel-down tubes No. 60 and 120 on the chamber internal faces of the injector end ring and fuel return manifold. External to the chamber the same tubes are similarly identified on reinforcing bands and straps below the thrust chamber throat.

I first became aware of the markings on the F-1 tubes while processing my photos of F-1 engine F-114-2 at Stafford Air & Space:

The markings on the fuel return manifold (i.e., the aft end of the engine proper) are easy enough to spot, but I made this handy reference diagram to help locate the ones near the thrust chamber throat:

Although always marked on the Nos. 60 and 120 tubes, the markings themselves seem to vary from one F-1 engine to the next. Here's the No. 60 tube marking from F-1 engine F-6045 at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center:

Here's a series of photos showing the tube markings on the throat straps of F-1 engine F-4028 at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
