Additional Details

Goddard recorded several comments on "Alternative Forms" of his turbine and valve designs. Two turbine notes read in part: "(a) Turbines run by main chamber. Chamber turbine drive reducing valve. Normally open, and closed by pressure." "(b) Turbines run by a small turbine chamber. Water, oxygen, and gasoline reducing valves. The 2-ply bellows, B, is difficult . . " "Each valve is held by a tension spring . . engaging the lever arm" "No main valves will be needed, if the reducing valves show strength enough."???
