V2_v_bw_o_n (original 1945-52 photo)

V-2 assembly at White Sands Proving Ground, ca. 1954+. Possibly Building 1538?

Definitely not a "white room" environment, eh? Granted, not yet necessary based on the technological capability.

 

The object on the far left, with the numerals “37”, with what looks like multiple fuel injection ports?, is a combustion chamber. And to its right, one can be seen installed, plumbing attached, in the aft of the horizontal V-2.

 

The photograph has a very fine matte sheen, with the feel of early & very heavy "A KODAK PAPER". Meant to withstand the test of time, which it most certainly has!
