existing portions of air conditioning units in these buildings should be salvaged for use in less important locations.

Realignment of Gamma Stations.

The tubes in Gamma Stations are now

aligned to a former sight point approximately 200 feet high at center of Zero
Tower location.

As it is now recommended to locate new Zero Towers 75 feet

beyond former Zero tower location ami use a tower 100 feet higher, it will be
necessary to change the alignment of the existing tubes.
Analysis was made as to the possibilities of reaming out present tubes
and installing new tubes but the vertical displacement necessary and the difficulty of field drilling through limonite concrete was such that this proposal
was abandoned.

Similarly, a study of cutting out the entire tube rack and in-

stalling a new set of tubes properly aligned was discarded as possible but very
difficult and expensive.

Dry packing or pres-

sure grouting can be utilized to firm up this new alignment.
Additional Structures.

Should additional tubes be required at present

Gamma locations, it is proposed that new buildings of similar design to existing structures be built alongside present buildings.
