was being emptied and tank rise had ceased. A
line of sight was established from the readings.
Mostof the settlement took place whileinitially
filling the tank. Upon furtherrefilling, settlement was limited to a maximum of \%”.

Power to this station was provided through

a 30 KVA 2400/120-208 volt, 3-phase, 4-wire,

60 cycle transformer. Primary power to the
transformer was supplied through an oil fuse
cutout from the island distribution system of
2400 volt, 3-phase, 3-wire, 60 cycle. The transformer and secondary distribution panel were
mounted inside a waterproof wooden enclosure
22 feet from the outer tank. The circuit breaker
distribution panel provided power to Station 23
and the adjacent tent within which a 12-circuit
lighting panel was mounted that supplied power
to 12 special receptacles. Power for Station 23
ran through a 12-circuit lighting panel with a

60-amp special receptacle for scientific needs.

This panel also furnished power for Station

1336.04. The total connected power load for
the station was 21 KW.
Timing signals were provided by one 37conductor cable and a 9-conductor cable,
and telephone lines by one-pair conductor
cables,
terminating in a 26-pair terminal
cabinet within the station. Three 2-conductor
cables extending from the terminal cabinet provided timing signals for Station 1336.04, Eleven
7 /8-inch aluminum coaxial cables were run between Stations 1611 and 23 and the enclosure
on the north edge of the large tank. A twenty
foot cable for final hook-up was left at each
end.
Two portable 500 gpm gasoline-driven
water pumps with 6-inch hose connections were
used for filling the tanks. Ventilation of the
inner tank was accomplished with a 700 cfm
blower forcing air through steel pipes.
A total of 311 cubic yards of concrete was
poured.
