Station 62, used in CASTLE, was rehabil-

itated for this Operation and identified as
Building 62. The rehabilitation consisted of new
plywood siding and a new roof, rewiring of the
electrical system, and the installation of two

new dehumidification units on the exterior of
the building.
STATION:

locally. Terminals within station enclosures permitted participation of several stations on each
of the available signals. Thus, only one each of
the signal pairs was brought to the timingstation via the trunk submarine cable lines while
many connections to the trunk were madelocally. The Contractor was required to provide the
enclosures and essential utilities including generators for battery charging. EG&G generally
provided and installed all the equipment and
batteries required for use within the station.

The use of room 18 in existing Station 70
was a requirement for this Operation. A wave
guide and two 7/8-inch coaxial cables were run
into the room from 10-foot dish-type antennas.
A breaker panel was connected to an existing
100-ampere breaker, and four timing signals
and a telephone were installed. Power consisting
of 15 KW,3-phase, 120/208 volt was furnished
by the main station source. Additional work
included adding an unroofed equipment room
to the existing radio station, drilling a salt water

well, placing various equipment, and construct-

ing an earth enbankment around the station.
Total concrete poured was 102 cubic yards with
an average 28-day strength of 4,400 psi.

consisted of replacing conduits and providing
additional circuits and outlets. Radio loads were
critical at Station 70. Therefore, a 20 KW generator was installed for auxiliary power. An
automatic transfer switch provided for changeover to this auxiliary power in case of low voltages in the main island system.
