Re: Me.262 V9, W.Nr.130004: two questions...
Dear Richard,
The Jumo drawings and photos usually don't show the generator as it was not part of the engine delivery package but had to be procured by the aircraft manufacturer. I found some discussions regarding this issue between Messerschmitt and Jumo in some original documents at the German museum in Munich.
That's probably also the reason why you found many photos of 004 witout generators. I attached a similar one that only has a temporary cover over the flange that was intended for the generator. On this photo you can also see the tube that delivered pressurized and heated compressor air to the rack (it comes out underneath the engine attachement point on the right side of the photo and turns 180 degrees before it is attached to the rack).
Regards,
Roger
