Anyone have a scan of the Instruction Manual for the Cox Nike Zeus model rocket?

Found the following set of instructions for the Cox Nike Zeus at the Smithsonian NASM G. Harry Stine collection: https://airandspace.si.edu/collecti...sm_A19930685000

I'm not certain if the Cox Nike Zeus instructions had only two pages, or if there are additional pages. Anyone else know?

Well, I managed to find the answer to my own question by locating a complete copy of the Cox Nike Zeus model rocket instruction manual. The Cox Nike Zeus instructions do, in fact, have four pages as shown below.

Edit: For some strange reason, the images displayed in reverse order, pages 4,3,2,1, instead of the other way around. Anybody know how to change the image display order? (Perhaps Scott Hansen can re-arrange in the correct order.)

As an added bonus, I also found a postcard displaying a Nike Zeus in flight that the Cox Nike Zeus was based upon.

I see the Cox engine data sheets show the D8-0 and D8-3 being 15n-sec Ds.
Not in a MILLION YEARS were they even close to that. More like 12-13n-sec.
I loved those D8-3s, but in reality they were like a full C plus an A motor.
They were just enough to get a great flight out of a Mars Lander, or the 1284 Space Shuttle.
Good in the draggy Centuri Super Kits and the Centuri 1/100 Saturn 1B in a cluster.
Never tried 3 of them in an Estes K-36 Saturn V but sure would have been better than a single D12-3 or 3xC6-3.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

Found this additional photo of a Nike Zeus model B, which is what the Cox Nike Zeus model is based upon.
