CHAPTER II, SECTION 3 a 2-foot radius circle, and that it remain on the line of sight from Station 1320 and within the field of Station 1528. To accomplish this requirement, mooring winches of approximately 30,000 pounds pull each were located at the corners of each barge, necessitating reinforce- ments below deck to properly transfer the loads. Power for each barge was supplied by two 15 KW, 120/208 volt, 3-phase, 4-wire, 60-cycle diesel driven generators. During the outfitting and pre-shot period, one generator supplied power for scientific purposes with a connected load of 12.5 KW, while the other generator provided an estimated load of 14 KW for utilities. With the generators operating separately, it was possible to maintain good voltage regulation on the scientific load. However, when personnel disembarked prior to the actual test, the gener- ators were paralleled. Since no utility power was then required, good voltage regulation was possible. A stand-by generator was thus available since either unit was capable of carrying the scientific load separately. A signal-controlled magnetic contactor was connected to the lighting panel of each station so that all lights could be turned off by signal. This apparatus also controlled a target light array consisting of floodlamps (pointing vertically) which were mounted on top of Stations 10, 11, 12 and 13. Timing signals and telephone service were provided through plastic armored submarine cables running from the island timing station to the barge stations. These cables terminated on the barges in a cast Figure 2-32. Page 2-50 iron junction box and were supported at the box by a specially-designed frame. From the terminal box, the cable led through conduit to the zero timing signal cabinets located in the scientific enclosure of the stations. One of the signal cabinets also contained telephonelines. Prior to each mooring, the location of each anchor point and the barge working point were established by surveyors. Marker buoys were set over these points. Anchors connected to mooring buoys were dropped by a specially-fitted LCU which was maneuvered on a course to the working point marker buoy. The barge was later attached to the mooring buoys with wire from the mooring winches. With surveyors on shore and on the barge directing movement, the barge was workedinto position with the winches. In setting the barge anchors, the survey points used in Eniwetok Atoll were the west end of Gene, and Boru located 650 feet northwest of Gene. In Bikini Atoll they consisted of Station 1528, George, and a leaden tack, called Tony, located in the reef 15,000 feet northwest of George. After the initial experiment in Eniwetok Atoll, Barge 12 was modified for use as living quarters off Ursula due to the island radioactivity. Three lavatories, two enclosed showers, a hot water heater, a Navy cube, and an 8’ x 23’ canvas cover on the stern of the barge were installed. After this temporary use, the modifications were removed and the barge was returned to Elmer. Station 12-76% Complete
