G. L. Felt, CT 7.1 J6-3465 1. -2- 1 February 1957 A timing, telemetering and communicetions facility (similar to Sta. 70 - Enyu) on the southernmost bit of real estate to reduce its vulnerability to shot demage as much as possible. 2. A small craft channel and landing in the location recorded in H. 0. Publication No. 165A and H. 0. Field Chart No. 4012. We assume that this location was logically selected from on-site information originally. 3. An alpha station on the most northern land mass since by nature of the measurement it must be the closest station to a shot and we desire to keep shots as far north as possible to minimize their effect on Item 1 above. 4, j An airstrip on Pokaakku Island - rather than on the northerly end of Sibylle Island as H&N proposed in Enclosure A - as close to Item 1 above as flight safety permits. 5. A photo station south of the alpha station at a distance roughly equal to the separation between CASTLE Stations 1210 and 1342. 6. ‘ A camp located for convenience near the airstrip and boat landing since there is no invulnerable location on this Atoll for a camp. In conclusion we wish to interject two cautions: Enclosure A was necessarily quickly prepared and assumes construction conditions at Taongi Atoll are no worse than those at Bikini and Eniwetok Atolls - this assumption may prove false and necessitate an upward revision of these estimates. Further, there exists interrelations between the items listed in the cost summaries which precludes elimination of individual items without appropriate adjustments in the costs of the remainder; i.e., elimination of the LST landing in the minimum condition would certainly increase the difficulty of building the telemetering station and hence would increase its cost.
