- Summary
- This appears to be a part of one of the first rocket pumps tested by the American rocket pioneer Dr. Robert H. Goddard in 1923 for his first experiments with liquid propellant rocket motors.
- However, it was only used for static, not flight tests. Goddard used liquid oxygen and kerosene to test his first pumps, although he preferred liquid oxygen and gasoline as his standard propellants.
