a_v_bw_o_n (ca. 1966-67 Rocketdyne-NAA photo no. MFG 699)

An impressive photograph, ca. 1966/67 of the assembly line for F-1 rocket engine thrust chambers at North American Aviation’s Rocketdyne Division facility, Canoga Park, CA.

The number on the dolly is that of the engine on it, in this case '2053' & '2057' being visible.

And along those lines...excellent...as always:
