This is an injector for a rocket motor attributed to the American rocket pioneer Robert H. Goddard and static tested at Fort Devens, Mass., on 3 Dec. 1929. He called it a "plug-type" injector. The injector head was one of Goddard's early efforts to find both a suitable means of propellant injection and cooling of the rocket motor. This object was found in the NASM collection and accessioned in 1966.
