angles of 120 degrees. The front and wing walls
were designed for pressures of previous events.
Within the building was a 5-ton bridge crane,
with a 20-foot span and a clear hook height of
25 feet. Two equipment foundations, each 6
feet square and capable of supporting a 20-ton
distributed load, were required in the reinforced
concrete floor. The steel columns of the building
were suported on spread footings 4 feet below
grade. However, at each of the two proposed
equipment locations, the settlement limitation

was 1/4 inch. Subsequentto a soil investigation,
it was decided to isolate the two equipment
foundations by means of a premolded jointfiller,
and to support them by means of a 3-foot thick
pile cap and four 12” bearing piles with a 30
foot penetration. The anticipated maximum
settlement was then 0.2 inch.
Anchor bolts were embedded in the equipment foundations and various locations in the
floor. The floor also contained two trenches 8”
wide, 8” deep, 28’ and 23’-4” long, respectively.
Five 4-inch diameter conduits were placed, starting at the floor of the east end wall and terminating beyond a concrete collimating wall, Station
2250. A 3’ x 7’ door was provided in the south
wall. Ventilation of the building was accomp-

lished with three 24” roof vents of the gravity

‘ype and a framed opening in which six 20’’x20”
air filters were installed.

Power was suplied to this station by one
25KW and one 50KW diesel engine generator
at 120/208 volt, 3-phase, 60-cycle. The 25 KW
machine carried the utility load and the 50 KW
machine the scientific load. Separate machines were used to obtain good voltage regulation for the scientific load. However, provision was made for parallel operation when the
station was abandoned, at which time there
would be no utility load. Signal-controlled outside security lighting was installed around the
perimeter of the station. Outside flood lighting
was placed at the generator pad. One 16-pair
submarine cable terminating in a 16-pair timing
terminal cabinet provided for timing signals; a
special 16-pair terminal cabinet was also con-

nected by a 6-pair cable to Station 2200; and
a 16-pair direct burial telephone cable terminating in a 16-pair telephone cabinet serviced the
telephonelines to the station.
The corrugated aluminum siding was removed from this station for the Cherokee event
and replaced immediately thereafter.
