SCROOGE MISSILE CANISTERS
AND TRANSPORTERS-ERECTORS-LAUNCHERS
MOSKVA PARADE, 1 MAY 1966
photography taken during the
Moskva parade on I May 1966 has provided
good photographs of 2 missile canisters and
their transporters-erectors-launchers (TELs)
which have been identified as SCROOGE/PEN-
DANT N063 and SCROOGE/PENDANT N082
(Figures 1-3). A canister and TEL for a third
SCROOGE missile observed during the 7 Novem-
ber 1965 parade 1/ has been identified as a
SCROOGE/PENDANT N073. The Soviets have
reported that the SCROOGE missile is a mobile,
solid-fuel ICBM. 2/ Photographs of both parades
reveal that the 3 TELs are very similar. How-
ever, the configuration of the superstructure of
the transporter for the SCROOGE/PENDANT
N032 is different from that of the other two
(Figures 2 and 4), i.e., the aft end of the super-
structure has been modified.
Since most of the photographs of the
SCROOGE/PENDANT N063 and N082 canisters
and TELs were taken while they were standing
still, side, forward, and aft views of both were
obtained. As a result, detailed scale drawings
of the SCROOGE/PENDANT N082 missile can-
ister and TEL are presented in this report.
The fairing appears to be bolted to the canister.
The linear object on the surface of the fairing is
in line with a cable tunnel, which runs along the
upper right side of the canister. The beveled
covering on the aft end of the canister is
feet in diameter and does not appear to be easily
removable. An extension is attached to this
covering by 24 bolts and appears to be 1 piece.
The appendage on the upper left side of the aft
covering is connected to a cable tunnel which
runs nearly the entire length of the left side of
the canister.
The canister consists of 2 units, each cover-
ing approximately half the circumference of the
missile. Each unit has been constructed of over-
lapping sheet metal sections, each
feet wide. These sections are riveted together.
The rivets appear to be flat and oval, and account
for the sm000th appearance of the canister. A
longitudinal seam, probably a weld, runs from
the extreme aft end of the canister to a belt-like
apparatus located near the forward end and
probably joins the 2 units of the canister. If the
canister can be separated at the belt-like appa-
ratus, the forward sections of the 2 cable tunnels
would apparently have to be removed. Three
bands have apparently been welded around the
circumference of the canister to provide added
strength. The center band is locked to the for-
ward end of the erector mechanism by brackets,
which work with locking cylinders on each side
of the erector mechanism.
Other items observed on the outer surface
of the canister, from forward to aft, are as
follows:
- 1 -
? A belt- or band-like apparatus located
from the forward end of the canister
and fastened on both sides of the canister
with bolted clamps.

? A circular, raised, probable access
25X1 B hatch in diameter; how the cover is
removed cannot be determined from the
photographs.
? A housing for 20 cable terminals over-
lapping the cable tunnel, which runs along
the upper right side of the canister; 20
external cables extend from the housing to
a point under the erector mechanism; they
are held flush with the canister by straps.
? Iwo cleats, one on each side of the
canister, located just below and aft of the
cable housing; their configuration indicates
that they function as lifting points.
? Iwo brackets, one on each side of the
canister, located just below the cleats; when
the canister is in transit, the brackets func-
tion in conjunction with hand wheels and lock
the canister to the bracing, which extends
forward of the cab.
? The erector mechanism located on each
side of the aft portion of the canister; it
consists of a tubular assembly connected to
a hydraulic piston on each side of the can-
ister and a pivoting mechanism near the
extreme aft end of the superstructure.
If the canister were erected to the vertical
position, the aft end covering would be flush or
nearly flush with the ground, and the hydraulic
piston would telescope to approximately 4 times
its length. If this piston did not telescope, the
canister could be elevated to a maximum of only
30 degrees above the horizontal.
[he superstructure of the SCROOGE missile
transporter has vertical sides and a high
silhouette. With the exception of a few minor
variations, the configuration of the left side of
the superstructure is almost the same as that of
the right. The chassis is very similar to the
chassis of the SCAMP missile transporter. Two
cap-like objects, one on each side of the super-
structure below the forward end of the erecting
piston, appear to be either for fuel fill or covers
for plug-in of missile checkout equipment. The
superstructure carries 4 slant-topped rectan-
gular objects identified as external fuel tanks.
Two are located on each side of the transporter,
just above and behind the driver's compartment.
The transporter also carries 2 conical jack pads
between the tracks at the aft end. The jack pads
are carried base-to-base, have handles, and in
a travel position are locked to the bracing which
supports the hydraulic jacks at the extreme aft
end of the mover. A tow cable is located along
each side of the transporter, and 2 tow rings have
been identified in the forward and aft ends,
along the lower part of the chassis.
