The three-quarter The steel structure of the tower is attached to the supporting framework by anchor bolts - those at the southwest corner are badly rusted. The steel frame-work of the tower structure has been paint- ed over the galvanizing, and this paint appears to be in good shape and has adhered to the galvanizing. The paint used is apparently yellow zinc chromate. The galvanized house structure on top of the tower is not painted, but it ap=pears to be in fair shape. One pane of glass is missing. There are two ad- ditional towers of this type in warehouses at itniwetok, and one erected at Aniyaanii. The towers are equipped with hoist. The floor of the tower itself is approximately eight feet above the water line. On the top step of the ladder which mounts the coral tower, a structural member consisting of about two inch angle iron projects into the upper vart of the last step. This is an inconvenience to veople in descending the ladder, and probably is a hazard to safety. The cable landing was considered unsatisfactory for a permanent installation. The cable, in emerging from the water, ascended very closely to one of the concrete cased piers supporting the tower, and in the state in which it was found in this survey, it could have chaffed against the edge of the concrete pier. It had been restrained from doing so by a very light piece of rope. This rope was replaced with three-quarter inch manila line. The cable is mounted on the inside of one of the tower legs by a series of lashings or ties made of tarred-string, similar to Navy type marlin. of cable clamps were used. designed to advantage.

In addition to the lashing which was performed on the cable tower, an investigation was made of the equipment in the tower proper = electrical equip- II - 8
