English:
Weapon No. 1, a Mark 39 Mod 2 thermonuclear weapon, as found by the explosive ordnance disposal team after the Goldsboro accident in 1961. The text indicates where the "pull valve rod" and the "pull-out rods" were extracted, which began the firing sequence of the weapon.

another version of this image exists
. That image, however, was photographically edited to be wider (probably for a television screen) using the "clone" tool on the left and right edges of it. This appears to be the correct dimensions of the original image.
