Title
Various Rocket Installations at Rocket Laboratory
Full Description
An engineer operating a rig used for studying film-cooling of
combustors. In this method of cooling, a film of relatively cool air is
maintained between the hot gases and the combustor wall to serve as an
insulator for the wall. The operator is separated from the combustion
equipment by 2 feet of reinforced concrete with a steel inner lining. He
sees the equipment indirectly, through a periscopic arrangement of
mirrors and a window of bullet-proof glass. Lewis Flight Propulsion
Laboratory, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, now known as
John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field, Cleveland, Ohio.
