CHAPTER I!, SECTION 3
The roof section in this area was placed
on a 2:1 slope with framing members extending
down to the ground to provide track support

for the sliding roof panels. These roof panels
were released by a mechanism utilizing wire

signals to a solenoid for each panel. Handoperated winches were fastened on the roof to
reposition the panels. The room was grounded
using copper screening on the walls, ceiling, and

floor. The floor screen was protected with plywood cover.

Collimator Room “‘B” was separated from
Room “A” by an open stud partition which
had a double door. The wall was used to sup-

port the screen of Room “A.” Collimator Room

A User-furnished motor generator set was
located under a shed roof outside but adjacent
to the building. This unit, as well as two com-

pressors and two pumpsfor the air-conditioning

units, was placed outside to reduce vibration
to the building. The electrical power and lighting panels were located on exterior building wall

under the same shed roof as the eqipment.

A personnel shelter was provided outside
the building. The shelter was 5x6x7 feet high
and was constructed of re-inforced concrete.
About one-half of the building was below grade.
It contained only a bench and a light and
served as an emergency shelter for two people.

“B” was not screened, but it was insulated with

Celotex throughout. Hinged-down shutters on

the front wall and an 8x14-foot sliding roof panel

were included similar to that provided in Collimator Room “A.”

The Spectrograph Room 12x17 feet, was
located directly behind Collimator Room “B.”

It was separated from Room “B” by
high, 1-foot-thick concrete wall with
high insulated plywood panels above
wall above the panels. The wall was
only on the Collimator Room side.

opposite was not insulated. A door was provid-

ed in the wall containing the concrete.

Adjoining the Spectrograph Room and Colli-

mator Room “B” was the Photometric Room,
10x22 feet, with double-door access to the Spectrograph Room. This room wasair-conditioned,
but no insulation was provided. The walls were

tronics Room “B,” 12x15 feet. The room was
grounded by use of aluminum sheet placed over

plywood for the floor and three walls and over
Celotex insulation for the ceiling. The fourth
wall utilized copper screen on open studs to

complete the ground system.
The Electronics Support Room was 10x12
feet and was also located behind Collimator
Room ‘A” but adjacent to Electronics Room

“B.” No insulation was provided on the walls,

but the ceiling utilized Celotex. Entry was pro-

vided from the outside of Collimator Room ‘“A”’

and Electronics Room “B.’ The room was air-

conditioned with large units necessitated by the
heat load from electronics equipment; although

these units were located in the support room,
they exhausted into Electronics Room “B.”

Since the wall separating the two rooms was
screened on open studs, both rooms were cooled. A small workbench was also provided in the

room.
