Model, Rocket, Liquid Fuel, 16 March 1926, Goddard

Unstreamlined, uncovered series of pipes, to save weight, mounted on an upside V-shaped frame launcher; the rocket is a nose-driven type with the motor on top. Motor consists of a long cylindrical combustion chamber with lengthy flared nozzle on bottom and rod-like igniter on top; motor mounted on smaller upside-down V-shaped frame with horizontal support pipe half way up the nozzle length. The upside-down V-shaped frame on the rocket also serve as the fuel (gasoline) and oxidizer (liquid oxygen) lines on opposite side of the rocket; these lines comes down and connect to the respective fuel and oxidizer tanks (top and bottom, respectively) at bottom of the rocket. On top of the larger oxidizer tank is a cone covered with asbestos for the purpose of shielding the lox tank from the flame of the rocket's exhaust coming down from nozzle mounted at the top.
