An earth-covered, re-inforced concrete bunker structure, this station was 43x53x10-feet high

and had 12-inch thick walls, a 14-inch roof, and
a 6-inch floor slab. The forward wall was 14
inches thick. The walls were supported on spread

footings. There were four rooms within the building: two instrument rooms, a stand-by room

containing Station J-70, and an equipment room
containing Station J-260 and a latrine. There

were cable ducts on the floor along three walls
of each instrument room, along two walls of the
stand-by room, and one wall of the equipment

room. The ducts were formed by placing incre-

ments of 314-inch-high angles on the floor to

contain cables and to support continuous ply-

wood covers. A concrete cable duct extended

out of the building through the fill from the in-

terior cable ducts. Cables from the bunker ex-

tended from the duct to the firing pad and were
laid in an earth ditch.

The ceilings and upper half of the walls
of the building were soundproofed through the
use of acoustical tile nailed to wood strips em
bedded in the walls and ceilings. Entry to th:
structure was through a steel blast-resistan.
door existing in stock at Jobsite. The design of
the concrete at the door was modified to allov
utilization of this door to expedite constructio1
and door fabrication time. Access to the top o
the roof fill was accomplished by means of a
wooden stair. A 3-foot-wide by 1-foot-higl
double-plate glass window on the forward wal
provided sight to the firing pad. The earth-cove.
in front of the wall was sloped out of the line of
sight.

The building was air-conditioned and de
humidified. Salt and fresh water required for the
system was obtained from the existing water
distribution system nearby and was piped int
the structure.

Electrical receptacles were provided along
the cable ducts as well as on the walls. Lightin;
of the rooms was accomplished with fluorescen
fixtures. The fire protection system at thefiring
pad was operated by a remote control located
in the bunker adjacent to the window at th
front wall. Steel rack supports were provided fo
25 instrument racks and were located adjacen.
to the cable ducts in the building.
