- Description:
- Caption: "Giant Rocket Engine Nozzle Arrives at Thiokol Plant- Brunswick, Ga., Jan. 13- A huge rocket engine nozzle, described as the largest in the world, has arrived at its destination at Thiokol Chemical Corp. near here. The big nozzle arrived here in the converted Boeing Stratocruiser (L), called the 'Pregnant Guppy.' The 20,000-pound nozzle (C) is taken out of the plane which has been seperated into two sections. It is being loaded onto a conveyor. Then the big rocket part was transported to the Thiokol plant in Camden County. The huge engine is 13 feet in diameter and 100 feet long. The big nozzle was flown in from California. The plane had to stop and refuel several times en route to its final destination at the chemical plant. January 13, 1965 Journal Photos- Rupert Chastain"
