CHAPTER II, SECTION 5
a 8’-0" x 8-0" plywood framed shclcer. The

steel towers were free standing but the plywood
shelters were guyed. The structures were built
on a reinforced concrete foundation which rested in water. Figure 2-129 shows a typical foundation at an extreme low tide with the progress
of work as 35% completed. The towers were
used as mirror supports and each Station had
two plywood shutters operated by pulleys.
ENGINEERING. The criteria were received on
13 April 1953. ‘Three drawings were prepared
and were started from 17 April to 27 July, were
submitted for approval from 7 May to 28 July
and were approved from 29 May to 21 August.
On 28 July 1953, minor revisions to the criteria

were received.

CONSTRUCTION.
Construction was scheduled to start on 1 October and to be completed
on 31 December. The earlier progress of the
work was dependent upon the time available
during the extreme low tide periods in September. By 31 October, the concrete foundations
were completed and the group was 65° completed. Figure 2-130 notes this condition with
foundations completed and steel towers erected.
As of 4 December, the progress remained at 65%
