Saturn I Block I Support Arm

The USSRC Saturn I rests not on Saturn IB/Block II Saturn I holddown arms, but rather Block I Saturn I support arms.

The Block I Saturn Is rested on four support arms such as these and four Block I holddown arms. Presumably, the reason for this is that at the time the museum in 1970, the Saturn IB-type holddown arms were being reserved for the 1973 Skylab missions and the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) mission.

As of now, I have not yet sorted through all of my pictures of the support arms, 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.
