Thanks for the post!

This area is only a few miles from my house, and quite some years ago I worked at an "energetic materials" test area adjacent to the shut-down development/test area pictured below.

Fyi, there is also a commemorative plaque at the corner of Morris Ave & Ford Rd in Denville near the site of the production facility.

I also remember that many years ago one of my school classmates brought a maneuvering reaction engines from the Apollo LEM (his dad worked on them at RMI/Thiokol, I believe) and it looked like a small pumping system (like a fuel injection pump or large carburetor) with a nozzle attached.
