The #engine section of a #Delta II #rocket.
The main engine is a #Rocketdyne #RS27A that burns kerosene and liquid oxygen.
On either side of the center engine nozzle, the two yellow and white portions that seem covered in fabric with red openings are #vernier thrusters to maintain attitude control.

Today's oddity: showed an actual degreed and employed #engineer how to use a cheap #Vernier #caliper to get accurate measurements down to 0.1mm.

Caveats: engineer is much younger than me, this was an old-school caliper without a dial or digital readout, their primarily field is fluid dynamics (so not a lot of calipers). And they understood the idea quickly.

But now I'm wondering this person would panic at the sight of a #slideRule. Tempting to throw one in the bag "just in case."
