View of the interior of the bobtail thrust chamber.

Close examination of the missing portions of the tubes shows that there are cut marks, so these sections were purposefully removed.

Picture 5 of 5.

Even if some of the tube walls hadn't been cut away, it would seem that no fluid is pumped through the regenerative cooling tubes, as the support rods go right through them.
