Launchers and Improved Components for 4.5 in. Rockets

Abstract

Light weight ground launcher, jungle launcher, and rotating projector were developed for 4.5" rocket. Rotating projector was developed for purpose of studying effect of rotation of rocket on its dispersion. Improvements of rockets components consisted of a redesign of tail end for purpose of coordinating parts which will effect ignition system and development of an igniter which may be inserted through nozzle. Eighteen devices for holding rockets in launching tube and a pressure regulating device that would permit use of rocket in any climate were also developed.
