Describes the F-1 engine design and components. -
"Design of the Saturn S-IV Stage Propellant Utilization System."
Describes the SIV vehicle and its components. Presented at: IRE International Convention. -
"Failure Investigations of Large Liquid Propelled Rocket Engine Components."
Case histories of seven typical failures in large liquid propelled rocket engines components have been prepared. Quite simple to complex investigations are presented covering a variety of failure modes in a variety of materials. Included are successful solutions to the failure problems investigated.; Archive copy is a poor photocopy. -
Telegraphic message containing an Apollo Program Flash Report.
This message for the Apollo Program Director contains a report of the Apollo launch vehicles, problem that occurred, and actions required. The photocopy is difficult to read. -
"Apollo Vehicle Propulsion Systems."
This paper discusses the propulsion requirements for various stages of the Apollo vehicles and the development of these engines. -
"Recent NASA experience with hydrogen engines."

"Development of LOX/RP-1 Engines for Saturn/Apollo Launch Vehicles."
The development of liquid rocket engines follow similar patterns regardless of engine size. During the development of the H-1 and F-1 engines, many problems were encountered. Methods of solving the combustion instability problem are discussed. A description is given of the major components of each engine, outlining their unique features. The requirements for an insulation cocoon are discussed. Problems associated with materials substitution are provided; also highlighted is the fact that problems occur after engine deliveries and require continued development support. Safety features incorporated on the engines are mentioned. Solution to problems encountered in flight are discussed. Upratings of both engines systems are presented graphically.; On the NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) unclassified. Can also be found on AIAA. -
