Bryan;

The Corporal IIB missile that I worked on during that same time period
used pressurized fuel & oxidizer tanks-- no turbopumps at all.

The Atlas booster's turbopump was a little thing and it was rated at
about 1,500 hp. As I recall, the turbine and the LPGG (Liquid Propellant
Gas Generator) would fit in a 5 gal can. Service life was something like
200 seconds.

             program in '61 & '62)
