"A Review of Cryogenic Technology Aspects of Space Flight."
This paper was presented at the International Cryogenic Engineering Conference in Kyoto, Japan. It details the use of cryogenic technology in rocketry and how its usage created "many new techniques and deeply stimulated many fields of cryogenic technology." -
"Apollo Vehicle Propulsion Systems."
This paper discusses the propulsion requirements for various stages of the Apollo vehicles and the development of these engines. -
"Decision Procedure for Minimizing Costs of Calibrating Liquid Rocket Engines."
Prior to acceptance of a liquid rocket engine for use in Saturn vehicles, the average thrust of two consecutive tests without an intervening calibration must satisfy specification requirements. The contractor may recalibrate after the first and subsequent tests if he so chooses, based upon decision limits, until the above requirement is met. -

"Nondestructive testing of space vehicle liquid propellant rocket engines."
Presented at the Western Metals Congress, Los Angeles, California, 15 March 1967.; Archive copy is a photocopy.; ABSTRACT: This report describes the various nondestructive test methods employed to evaluate materials and processes used in the manufacture of large liquid propellant rocket engines at the Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation, Inc. The contents of the paper were purposely oriented for an audience of aerospace, design and materials engineers. A brief description of liquid propellant rocket engine reliability is presented. The relationship of standards and specifications to nondestructive testing is discussed and various test methods are described along with a discussion of their applications and limitations. The sequence of events leading up to the use of nondestructive testing in production inspection is presented. Finally, the organization of labor directly related to nondestructive testing is given. -
