View of the aft LOX tank bulkhead.

Picture 1 of 5.

At the 6:00 position is the LOX fill/drain valve. The fuel (alcohol) fill/drain valve is mostly obscured at 8:00 by the intersection of the braces added to the missile for display purposes; the fuel suction line (through which the alcohol tank was also filled and drained) is the flange between 8:00 and 9:00 whose side has been cut off to provide clearance for the support post.

At 1:00 is the conduit through which electrical cabling and pneumatic tubing was routed through the propellant tanks and to the aft unit.

Mostly cut off by the support post at about 2:00 is the flange for the LOX suction line.

This view was taken through the steam vent.
