designed, but because of changes in policy they were never built. They included the 4-man tents for quarters, a 4-man refreshment tent as on Runit and Aomon, and a pit latrine to be housed in a standard 4-man tent. The storage and shop tent was designed of three 4-man tents placed together with splice plates connecting their ridge members, Thus by the omission of the individual tent ends, one 14 foot by 43 foot tent could be obtained. Two work benches wereto be provided at one end for the shop, and the remainder of the tent was to be for storage. A 9 foot by 33 foot slab with an aluminum shed roof supported on two by fours was to house the open-air showers and lavatories. A 6-foot high canvas screen was to circle the gang shower at one end of the slab. Two banks of 4 lavatories placed back-to-back at the other end of the slab would have completed the facility. The power and water distillation plants were designed similar to those on Runit, Aomon, and Engebi, but considerably smaller. JAPTAN Several of the structures, such as the 18 and 36-man quarters and the timber grease rack, were the same as those at Parry, and the 100-man mess hall was the same as that used at Runit and Aomon, The salt water pump station, the booster pump station, and the feed storage building were unpartitioned standard aluminum buildings. A few wooden Navy buildings were on the island, some of which were utilized to provide a day room, office, first aid station, drafting room, biological lab, thermal lab, shop, and boat house. The unique feature of the power plant and stills was that a 17-foot section of this standard aluminum building was raised on 6-foot concrete wall to give clearance for the diesel engine exhaust. The remainder of the building was on a slab at grade and connected to the raised section by specially designed gable plates. The animal quarters consisted of two aluminum buildings placed about 9 feet apart and connected at one end by a concrete slab on which was placed a wash house for a sink and sterilizer. The side of the wash house facing the quarters was left open. Later, another quarters building was found necessary and was added beside the wash house. The animal runs were concrete slabs divided into 3 runs each by 6-foot high fences. The slab sloped to a sump at one end to facilitate flushing out the mms and was sheltered at the opposite end by an aluminum building with the side facing the runs left open, The X-ray building was a frame structure, with wood sheathing and corrugated aluminum siding and roofing, divided into two rooms by an 8-foot high reinforced concrete wall 10 inches thick, which was pierced by a lead glass window. Access to the rooms was from the exterior, since no inter-communicating door was desired. 5-120
