"A mock-up of the NASA F-1 engine, which develops 1.5 million pounds thrust. Five of these engines will power the first stage of the Saturn V moon rocket."

 

Note the missing turbine exhaust manifold, commonly seen to girdle the 'nozzle' of the engine, at the thrust chamber and nozzle extension interface.

 

Excellent F-1 reading:
