The propelling unit is connected to the canister assembly by a 12 inch steel stirrup and a steel connecting rod 18 inches long. A quick fastening bolt is provided in the top of the canister for rapid connection to the connecting rod. The proposed new nomenclature for the motor is Motor, Rocket, 2 inch, No. 3 Mks I and II.
