Parts of the ‘Standard’ series A aluminium head from 1941. The brass injector insert type and position pattern on the relics seem to be of the standard type but the pattern is non-standard in that higher volume injectors with three inlet apertures (two centrifugal and one central) have been place nearest the LOX
injector. Photo courtesy Horst Beck

Industrial magazine advert for Gustav Schlick printed in 1918 and showing graphic of steam boiler jets. The company, formed in 1902, had a wide expertise in all aspects of industrial spray technology and were able to steer the direction of fuel injector development along fruitful lines after they became consulting contractors to Dr Walter Thiel’s combustion research group in 1937.

Sample set of 3303D type fuel injector inserts that were found in Peenemünde in part of a group that were bunched together in a space about 300mm in diameter with the remains of packaging. They appear to be manufacturing samples and and some have been graded with numbers 1,2,3, as well as with red and white paint to show the burner cup echelon position (C or D). Five different manufacturers are represented in this group. V2RH collection image

The injector head fragment shown here, is from an 4B 1000 kg thrust engine that was developed at Kummersdorf in 1938/39 by Dr Walter Thiel’s combustion research group. The fragment, clearly the remains of an explosion, was actually found in a scrap pile in Peenemüde but the engine was probably tested (and destroyed) at the Kummersdorf army testing station.

The injector head section of the 4B 1000kg thrust rocket engine is a precursor to the injector pot or ‘pre-chamber’ design used later for each of the 18-pots of the 25-ton V2 rocket engine. Most of the essential ingredients are shown in this drawing from 1940. Drawing no 1848E Deutsches Museum München online archive ref FA 014/12829
