saXX_v_bw_o_n (hand annotated, 60P184-3, UI Saturn I assembly)

Awesome view of the ‘clustering’ of an unidentified (SA-1 - SA-4?) Saturn I first stage (S-I) in the main assembly building (bldg 4705), at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama, circa 1960. The cylindrical spheres that festoon the booster's 'spider beam' are 'fuel pressurization spheres'. Excellent information pertaining to them at:

Lastly, pretty much everything Saturn I S-I stage related (structurally)...REALLY impressive:
