I took advantage of the fact that one of the igniter bosses' lockwires was broken off,
removed it, and took a photo through the boss (before reinstalling the
closure).
Picture 2 of 2.
Visible are some of the shingles on the nozzle
extension interior wall and part of the flared base of the engine's throat
support, a column topped by a platform on which an engine's injector
sits. Thus, the weight of the engine is borne by the injector, rather than the
lower portion of the engine, as the nozzle extension was not designed to bear
the weight of the entire engine.
