I remember quite some time ago seeing in the forum a picture of a mercury-atlas rocket with various parts labeled (fuel lines, interstage, etc. some really detailed stuff), but can't find it anywhere now. Does anyone have any pics like that or know where they are on the forum? I tried searching for mercury-atlas but came up dry

The NY Hall of Science has both those boosters on display, so I wanted to take the schematic with me and try to identify parts
There are probably better ones, but here are two graphics I can supply.

And while looking at those parts, always keep in mind who supplied them...
Wow, that's fantastic, thank you! Love the comic!
Do not expect to find an antenna fairing on the Mercury-Atlas as noted on the left side of the drawing. The stub pod is also longer. The drawing is a hybrid of an ICBM and a SLV.
How'bout this?
Scanned it from a library book 10 years ago. Don't remember the title but I think it was British.
Here's a version I modified to show sustainer stage:
Free bonus! From the same book:
S1 modified to show whole length:

Great images - thx for posting! Esp. like your Atlas sustainer mod. They look like the cutaways that Flight International publishes.

Ah, that would explain it then. Thx for the additional info. Now I also see the Flt Int'l marks on them.

Something I just realized. The booster section was held down on the pad., but here was nothing but sep bolts and weight holding the sustainer section onto the vehicle. The sustainer section and its engine had T/W<1.
