Two items:
1) to be correct- some force is requred to push carrot nose from core block.
this is solved by oxygen flow as I described.
It's well known fact. I may refer to classical book of Feodos'jev.
This person is interesting himself as a man connected with strength problems 
of such vehicles as R-5 and so on.
So the book title is "Osnovi tekhniki raketnogo poliota".
first edition was in 1968 if my memory doesn't fail me. So it's classics.
I even have DJVU file.

2) the item missed- very interesting how electric connection is separated. 
I failed to find any info.

One more riddle- lower beams has index 8K74......
so stupid question- why not 8K71....?
This may mean that there were some problems with separation of lower 
connetions and they were modified.


Sincerely yours
Sergey
