Boeing KB-50J 49-0389 (4)

#4 Engine firewall, Boeing KB-50J Superfortress, 49-0389

 

There are more than a dozen MIL-C-5015 (now MIL-DTL-5015) electrical connectors across the top of the firewall. The different numbers of connections and their sizes indicate the variety of control, instrumentation and power circuits associated with just one engine.
