CONSTRUCTION

The Optical Station (completed in 1966) is an "'U'' shaped steel

frame structure with metal insulated siding and composition roof.

This struc-

ture is located at the north end, atop Building 20, and contains approximately

7500 square feet of space for spectrograph mounts, instrument maintenance,

camera mounts; film handling and analysis, and administrative purposes.
The camera and spectrographic areas, approximately 20 x 40-ft. and 40 x 40-ft.,
respectively, are provided with a movable roof which permits unobstructed sight
down to a minimum of 10° above the horizontal to the south, east and west. A
clear line-of-sight is provided between each spectrograph and an azimuth mark
which, preferably, will be located on Hikina Island.
Hydraulic camera mounts permit mounting of cameras and spectrographs to a
predetermined position. These mounts are capable of adjustments to +t 0. 1°
in azimuth.
