[i]The device comes from the collection of the late Charles Bell. It is a fuel valve (liquid hydrogen, LH2) from the upper levels of a Launch Umbilical Tower (LUT), but it is not known which of the three LUTs it came from. The valve was collected prior to 2000, the year of Charles Bell’s death. Parker Hannifin, a manufacturing company specializing in motion control technologies, is the contractor who manufactured the valve. There is a red metal badge on the side of the valve identifying the part and spec number of the unit: VALVE, PREVALVE, BALL ROTOR, FUEL PART NO 2630117M1 Parker NASA SPEC. 10MQ1694-II Hannifin Co SERIAL NO 103 Los Angeles, Calif 60C20340 U.S.[/i]
