Nike Zeus A dimensioned drawing?

Anyone have a source for a dimensioned drawing of the Nike Zeus A?

Thanks.

Would love to have one of these myself? Only known dimensions are booster diameter, fin span, and overall length that I have been able to find so far.

I know that several of us scale geeks have been keeping our eyes out for something on the Nike Zeus A for a long time. And we've found nothing more than some photos and a couple of basic dimensions. I think the lack of response indicates a lack of drawings, not a lack of interest.

Yes. Since posting, I have continued extensive searches. This missile did not last very long -- maybe a year/year and a half? Unless there is something in the archives at White Sands or the Army Missile Command, I think we are out of luck. The two drawings that I have found -- one at 0 degrees and one at 45 degrees don't even appear to have the same dimensions. I had thought about using pivoting sustainer fins such as these:

with some kind of locking mechanism to lock them in place after staging. I think the challenge would be in making the sustainer stable.

It would be difficult, and without decent dimensions, I'm not sure it would be worth the effort. I could do a "sport scale" single stage, but what's the point?

Would you mind posting the 0 and 45 degree views you have of the Nike Zeus A version ?

Thanks
