New approach to manufacture of motor casings with heavy walls and solid propellants used at Hughes Aircraft Co, is continuous winding of high strength steel rods (or bars) at launching site; plate welding or segmenting is not required in process which can be carried out right at launching site; special rod is wound round itself using continuous mechanical interlock, and heat treating, sealing, and quenching are carried out in continuous manner.
