Collection Parts of the 'Standard' series A head

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

About Robert J Dalby 9 Articles
Born Ilford, London, the last V2 missile attack on England missing him by 25 miles and 14 years. Read philosophy for nearly a decade - and so naturally pursued a career in astronomy optics and engineering design. Career highpoints: co-inventor of the LRGB imaging method now in use by serious amateur and professional astronomers worldwide. Responsible for the design of a host of devices used in the field of telescopic astronomy. And once ate nine pancakes without passing out. Spends too much time in shadowy corners fiddling with old missile parts to be socially acceptable, but was once described as a geek's idea of a geek. [email protected]
