A few more postings from the trip and we will back to the Lockheed L-1011 stuff ... i promise. Today I want to share a few pictures from the first stage Titan II rocket motor with you. To get the full explanation of the Titan II missile ... click the link.
The butterfly valve in the picture below was used as a safety mechanism. The valve had a key combination that could only be unlocked from the control room. I guess this was a safe enough way to prevent accidental launch of the Titan II missile.
