*Recommendations are as follows:
1. The use of mobile workshop equipment for the various teams op~
erating at Zero sites should be considered wherever possible. The W-7
trailer for gas filling, which was used very effectively, proved the value of
the mobile unit, —
2. In the future, it is recommended that the task unit consider pur-
chasing good handling equipment, such as fork lifts and box movers, and not
count on saving them between operations.
All packaging of devices and gear
should be designed around the existing handling equipment for ease of han~-
dling.
3.
If barge shots are includedin future operations, all barge construc~
tion and ballasting should be done either prior to the start of the active Task
Unit work at the PPG or at a location other than the Assembly Area,
4. All permanent buildings and equipment at the Assembly Area require repairs and maintenance. A program of repair followed by constant
preventive maintenance should be initiated at once.
5.
In order to facilitate handling of devices and equipment into the
magazines, large level concrete pads in front of each magazine are needed,
