room supported the 150-foot tower, Station 2250.
Although the new room was in contact with the
existing structure, new walls were placed to re-

and to avoid excessive breaking of existing concrete to establish continuity. An opening was

madein the existing corridor wall to place a lead

Room E contained two 214-foot-square openings
with blast doors for air intake and exhaust for

two 314-foot-square openings with blast doors
for air intake and exhaust for each of the two

generators. The generators were mounted on
raised foundations 6 inches high.
Retaining walls were located on each end
