The LOX tunnel emerging from the bottom of the RP-1 tank.

Picture 2 of 2.

The tank was constructed to mimic the S-IC's RP-1 tank; a tunnel from the LOX tank was routed through the RP-1 tank.

By standing on my tip-toes, I was just barely able to see through the LOX tunnel. Note the flow straighteners at the far end of the tunnel.
