Hi everyone, could use some help identifying some equipment
if you are
up to it.
I know it is some sort of test equipment for the Titan IV
Missile, just
not sure what it was used for, and cannot find any
literature (maybe you
can help).
Below is a link to the photos of the Titan IV Missile Test
equipment,
notice it comes with paper tape ribbon (I assume some code
is on it).?
Also notice the "Air Pressure Equalizer" knob, this lets
air in/our of
the case (it is sealed with a gasket).? Do you know
why it would have an
"Air Pressure Equalizer" knob?? I assume this means it
is used in
different air pressures, would this therefore be used in
space as
opposed to on the ground in your opinion?
