Possible/probable descriptive text associated with 107P-KSC-66P-300:
"Lift off of Saturn Mission SA-203, the second in the up-rated Saturn I development mission series, was accomplished from the Cape's Launch Complex 37 at 10:53 a.m., July 5, 1966.
The up-rated Saturn I - consisting of an S-IB stage, S-IVB stage, and an instrument unit - boosted an unmanned payload into an original orbit of 185 by 189 kilometres. The inboard engine cut-off of the first stage occurred after 2 minutes 18 seconds of flight and the outboard engine cut-off was 4 seconds later. The S-IVB engine burned 4 minutes 50 seconds. No recovery was planned and the payload was expected to enter the earth's atmosphere after about four days."
