Description

Close-up photograph of the top of a combustion chamber, showing new multiple feeding, October 18, 1926 (Annotation by Esther Goddard). Another photograph in this series shows the placement of this combustion chamber in the much larger rocket model developed by Robert Goddard in the months following the landmark March 16, 1926 test of the world's first liquid-fueled rocket flight.

'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.
