CHAPTER II, SECTION 3
was removed before each test. The connected
load was 8 KW. Distribution was through a
16-circuit 120/208 volt, 3-phase, 4-wire lighting circuit breaker panel. Two 20-amp, 120-volt
and one 130-amp, 120-volt receptacles provided
outlets for scientific power; two 20-amp, 120volt receptacles provided the power required for
ventilation and dehumidification; and one 20amp, 120-volt receptacle provided the power
for a battery charger.

Seven timing signals were provided by an
EG&G furnished radio. Contractor furnished

equipment included a small portable type room

humidifier, a 280-gallon steel oil storage tank
and a 7-inch exhaust fan which was installed in
the 8” pipe vent in the battery room.

Station 312.01 had 23 cubic yards of concrete poured at an average 28-day strength of
4,950 psi, 312.02 had 23 cubic yards at 4,250

psi, 312.03 had 23 cubic yards at 4,400 psi and
312.04 had 22 cubic yards at 4,070 psi.

These stations were 8” diameter 25’-4”
high masts which were guyed at the 13’ and
23’ levels. Each station required a concrete mast
footing and three concrete guy anchor blocks.

User-furnished and installed gages were located
at the 10’ and 25’ levels of the stations and were

oriented toward ground zero. Cable was run
from the gages to the 312 series recording
shelters. Forms and guy rods were fabricated
at Nan. The design of the anchor block layout
had to be changed to meet field conditions,

which in turn necessitated changing the guy
rods. This was met by welding sections of +12
rebar to the fabricated guy rods. The following
amounts of concrete were poured for each sta-

tion: Station 313.01, 52% cubic yards at an
average 28-day strength of 3,675 psi; 313.02,

52% cubic yards at 2,700 psi; 313.03, 52%

This station was a tent and shed structure
with a wooden floor set on dirt, located at
the north end of the island. It was used as
a shelter for a User-furnished and installed rack
containing timed shutters over holes for the
purpose of checking flash blindness to monkeys.
A clear line of sight was required to Stations
3, 6, 19 and 24. An animal exercise cage, Building 149, was used in support of this project.
Two 5 KW generators with automatic switchover gear provided for service and stand-by
power. Timing signals of minus 15 minutes, 244
seconds, and one second, and two blue boxes
were required.

Station 411.01 was an earth embankment
50 x10 at the top with a concrete slab covering the entire area and set at elevation plus 15’.
Two 21’x 10 concrete ramps extended down
the sides of the embankment. Tie-down anchors
in the slab were provided to secure two 214
ton flat-bed trailers on which racks were placed.
The racks were the same as described for Station 410.01. Power in the amount of 5 KW was
supplied by island distribution with emergency
back-up from an engine generator. Timing signals of minus 15 minutes, 5 seconds, 244 seconds, and 1 second, and two blue boxes were

required. A total of 21 cubic yards of concrete
with a 28-day strength of 3,450 psi was poured.
