room of each station a 12 inch wide shelf was hung 6 inches below the ceiling along the center line of the long axis of the room to act as a cableway

and support for instrumentation cables and power cables.

Ventilation of

Stations 302a, b, c, and d - Engebi - Military Structures Program.
These stations were blast proof, camera mounts provided with wing walls.

The walls of these stations were two feet thick, the wall facing the struc-

ture under camera observation being provided with a flared, rectangular
port. The port was furnished with a special glass window which protected
the cameras installed in the stations from shock and radiation. The glass
was fitted into a special lead lined assembly designed from rough sketches
provided by the User. Access to the inside of the stations was provided
through the top of each station and this accessway was closed during tests
by means of a laminated steel lid, Provision was made for the positioning
of a swivel rig for handling the steel lid. Small underground concrete
vaults with steel tops were positioned adjacent to the camera stations to
serve as containers for batteries which provided power to the cameras,
Stations were streamlined by placing an earth fill against the side facing
zero, the earth fill being stabilized with a thin layer of gravel.

Stations 302e through h, and j throughr - Muzin - Military Structures
Program. These stations were camera stations, but in view of the increased
distance from zero, it was possible to use a pedestal-type mount two feet

square by four feet high on top of which was placed a steel wall cubicle
box two feet on each side, the side facing the structure under observation

being left open,

Station 303a - Engebi - Military Structures Program. This station
was a wood frame, aluminum sheath building, approximately 20 feet square,

used as a "dry locker" in which delicate scientific equipment could be unpacked without danger of damage by the tropical conditions at the site.
Station 351 — Kirinian — Civilian Defense.

This station served in

the tests of various types of glass and sash. A representative came to
Los Angeles in January 1951 and checked with the H & N structural depart~

ment as to the design of the frame building he had drawn to hold the window sash.

He stayed in the Los Angeles area until fabrication of the unit

was completed and shipped. Approval for erection of the unit at the Proving Ground was authorized by the ABC on January 29, 1951.

steel boxes made of 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch plate depending upon the overpressure at the various locations. The sketches of these boxes were sent

to H& N by J-Division around the middle of May, 1950.

The drawings were

made, and bids were let for the box fabrication by June 14, 1950. On June
23, 1950 J-Division telephoned the information that the User was going to

handle the purchasing, so drawings were sent to him and H & N orders were
