of existing structures, recommended repairs, realignment of Gamma Stations
and additional structures.
Zero Towers.

The thinking along this line has not changed.

The experimental towers are designed as triangular struc=-

tures 300 feet high with guys at the 250 foot level.

The head house is of

aluminum as described in the Reconnaissance Report.

The general appearance

of the towers is shown in Plate 18, Page IV-38 of the Reconnaissance Report.
One of the 300-foot Towers is to be built of aluminum throughout above
the 25 foot level excepting for the cables and elevator guide rails which
remain steel.
It is piauned at this time to completely erect one tower at the fabri-+
cator's yard in Los Angeles so that all mechanical and electrical features
can be tested as well as structural connections checked for good alignment
and ease of erection.
