Does anyone have, or know where I can find, a photo of the interior of the Saturn V showing an installed EBW (exploding bridge wire) firing unit? I'm trying to put together a home display. |

Thanks for the link but I already know what it looks like (I have one!). What I'm looking for is a pix of the unit installed in the Saturn. |

While I have no such photos, I do have a number of diagrams showing installed
EBW firing units (although I have more diagrams of them installed in a Saturn
IB than in a Saturn V).The firing units were used for many of the pyrotechnics, from retro and ullage
motors, stage separation, and propellant dispersion. Do you have a preference
as to the location? You can refer to any Saturn flight manuals to which you may have access (e.g., the Skylab Saturn IB Flight Manual, Saturn V Flight Manual, SA-503, Saturn V Flight Manual, SA-507 are commonly available). I've scanned parts of several Saturn V flight manuals (the SA-509 edition has the nicest EBW firing unit diagrams for the S-IC retros) and have scanned the Saturn IB flight manual put out for Apollo 7 in its entirety (which is substantially similar to the Skylab edition). I'd be happy to forward hi-resolution scans of anything which may be of interest. My email is in my cS profile. | |
