Description

Photograph of "Observers at the new shelter 140 feet from tower for static tests, Winter 1935-1936" (annotation by Esther Goddard). Between November 22, 1935 and February 12, 1936, Goddard and his team conducted a series of ten static tests that were named the 'K' Series. This was a series of ten proving-stand tests for the development of a more powerful motor, 10 inches in diameter. In Reel 7 of The Goddard Rocket Film Reels, 00:00 - 04:01 shows how one of these static tests is carried out. Then, 04:01 - 06:44 shows the 'K' series of tests.

'The Goddard Rocket Researches: A Photographic Record' is an annotated photo album covering Robert H. Goddard's work and experimentation with rocketry. It was assembled and curated by Esther Goddard sometime after her husband's passing in 1945. Additionally, almost all of the photographs were taken by Esther herself.

Photographs were scanned at 400dpi.
