Looking rather like a a display in a V2 rocket shop window, this terrific display, centered on propellant supply parts, is part of the Horst Beck Collection and provides an unparalleled opportunity to view original A4-V2 missile components in a near-new condition and isolated from other equipment. Rare items include: a heat exchanger coil, for the volatilisation of LOX (2nd from left bottom shelf). An H²O² choke pipe and steam generator pot cap, (in red oxide paint, 2nd shelf up from bottom) Alcohol tank valve (2nd from right on the same shelf). Alcohol down-pipe 3-way splitter (1st item on right same shelf). LOX manifold 3 to 1 splitter (two with one resting on the other, 3rd shelf up on left). Two LOX main tank valves, (4th shelf up, first two item from left). Injector head main alcohol valve (same shelf, 3rd item from left). And on its right, a main Lox dual valve, and on its right LOX distribution body, minus valve. A 'Preshona' non-return valve can be seen (2nd shelf from top, 5th item from left). The two same shape black items (2nd shelf from top, middle) are two Sodium Permanganate diaphragm contact switches (Backfile code D2R). The next 3 items to the right of these are all H²O² 25ton valves. The large brass item in the middle of the top shelf is a LOX spray cap. Image courtesy Horst Beck Collection
