These stations were two 12-inch flanged
columns 3’-6” high with steel plate members,
used for supporting User-furnished I-beam and
L-iron members. The 152 station series were
for I-beams, and the 153 series were for L-irons.

The steel columns were embedded in a pile-

supported concrete foundation which was 6’ x

14’ x 2’ for the 152 station series, and 6’ x 10’ x
2’ for the 153 series. Cable was run back to a
recording station for instrumenting the beams
and angles. The average concrete poured was
approximately 9 cubic yards for each of the
series 152 stations, and 8% cubic yards for the
153 series.

Each station consisted of five different
models for supporting User-furnished specimens
of various shapes and weights. Eight-inch steel
pipes of lengths varying from 3’-6” to 5’ were
embedded in 3’x3’x2QY concrete foundations
to support the specimens approximately 3 above grade. It was necessary to weld the pipes
to the reinforcing steel in order to maintain
good alignment and elevation while pouring the
concrete (57 cubic yards).

This station was a one-room 8’ x 18’ 8’
high reinforced concrete structure which had
1’-6” thick walis and was used for housing the
recording instruments of Stations 160.01 and
161.01. The south wall had a 4’-6’x 9watertight blast-resistant door for access. A wooden
partitioned room within the station was utilized for battery storage.
Because the structure was exposed to blast

pressure from several directions, the founda-

tion slab was extended beyond the walls so as
to pick up the pressures acting downward, which
would tend to resist overturning the building
from side loads. Since the station was located
near the lagoon shoreline, it was also necessary

to build a riprap retaining wall for the floor
slab.

Power to the station was supplied from the

island distribution system through a primary
oil switch to a 45 KVA transformer and then

to a 12-circuit breaker power panel at 120/208

volt, 3-phase, 4 wire, 60 cycle. The circuit brea-

ker panel was located in the interior of the

station. A 14’x 14’ tent and a trailer receptacle

located outside the station were fed from this
panel. User-furnished and installed batteries
provided signal power at H minus one minute.

A vapor-proof light fixture was installed in the
