Photographs of Failure 250, the first C-pile rupture

This memorandum discusses four photographs of Failure 250, from Tube No. 2179-C, which are presented to show the type of failure as viewed in the 111-B cave. The first three photographs are successive rotations of the slug, illustrating the split-out portion at the base end of the piece. The fourth photo was focused on the split to show the bulging of the slug and the width of the opening.
