REDWING Station 1319 was modified to
provide this timing station. Use of the structure
for HARDTACK necessitated the existing en-
try be relocated to the opposite end of the build-
ing. A new entry was provided by cutting
through the 514-foot-thick wall and installing
a steel blast door. The existing blast door at
the other end of the building was closed, and
the earth fill barricade replaced so that the
new door was accessible and the remainder of
the structure was underthefill.
Three signal terminal cabinets were installed, one for 16-pair cables and two for 51-
pair cables. A 5-kw expendable generator was
provided for each of the three events. Power was
supplied through zero by use of a battery-driven
converter system installed within the station and
connected to a new power and lighting panel.
