Popis: A modified two-path method was used to measure indi­ cated instantaneous temperatures of the exhaust and combustion chamber flames of 1500-lb-thrus t alcoholoxygen rockets. Spectral studies of the flames indicated divergence from thermal equilibrium in both combustion chamber and exhaust. Nevertheless the indicated tem­ peratures obtained agreed closely in the exhaust flames with average temperatures obtained by the method of Kurlbaum, but were lower than average temperatures obtained by the sodium line reversal method. The measured temperatures in the combustion chamber and the exhaust were lower than the theoretical temperatures.
