The Mixture Was Placed In The Aft End Of The Rocket. A Device That Looked Very Much Like A Snap Type Clothes Pin Helt The Rocket On The Launch Pad Until A Cord Was Pulled And The Rocket Was Launched. The Alt. Was Approximately 100'. This Description Is Not Exact But Very Close, After All It's Been 50 + Years Ago. I Would Love To Get As Much Info. And Maybe Find One For My Grandson !
