Anyone remember these? The 1970 catalog shows them (also listed as a B4-0P). I remember ordering a tube when I was a kid, I don't know what ever happened to them.

Anyone have any in their collection?

I do, somewhere in this mess. If I ever find them you can fondle them sometime. ;)

I remember buying several tubes of B.8-0(P) for a science project using a bicycle wheel to test impulse. They were Mabel 1 casings.

I had a bunch of those for a science project too! :D

Used a coffe can with graph paper taped on and a spring loaded swing arm with a pencil to give a thrust curve.

Coffee can was driven by an Erector set motor I borrowed from a classmate that I just found in my junk!

I wonder if he wants his motor back???? :rolleyes:

It's only been 45 years.

I have two in my collection.
They have black labels.
