Launch Escape Tower Jettison Motor

The Apollo Launch Escape System (LES) tower jettison motor was used to jettison the launch escape tower and Boost Protective Cover shortly after second stage ignition, when the LES and BPC were no longer required for astronaut safety.

The engine is display upside-down, as compared to its orientation in the launch escape tower.

As of now, I have not yet sorted through all of my pictures of the tower jettison motor, but some other page references this location. Thus, this is a "place holder" version right now, with only the pictures actually referenced. Come back some time later to see if I've finished up, or drop me an email to request me to prioritize the rest of these pictures.
