Default Motors and Motor Development

Mike,

When I worked at Enertek for Lee Piester in 1987-88, I discovered a box of random rocket motors in the office closet.

One of the motors was a bare fiberglass casing with graphite nozzle. It was labeled "Dorffler G Motor".

All I have been able to find out about it was that it was made in the mid/late 1970s and that it might have used leftover Enerjet motor components.

I was wondering if you could provide me with some history about this motor.

Thank you.

Bob Sanford
