deck hook height of 12 feet for movement of
material on and off the barge. For handling the
equipment in the device room, various systems
were utilized on the different barges. Loads in
Station 27 were moved by means of a 1-ton jib
crane projecting above the cab roof, adjacent
to the portside of the hatch. To move loads in
Stations 28, 30, and 37, a monorail A-frame
was used. The capacity of the chain hoist on
the monorails of Stations 28 and 37 was four
tons and that for Station 30 was one ton.
One 20-kw, 3-phase,
120/208-volt diesel
generator supplied power through the control
panel and to the instrument andlighting panels
in the ready room. One 16-pair and one 26-pair
submarine cable from the Janet timing station
were terminated in a watertight cabinet on the
stern end of the barge. From this cabinet, cables
were cross connected to signal cabinets in the
cab. Telephone circuits were carried in the sig-
nal cable between the local exchange and the
barge. Three circuits similar to those describ-
ed under Station 20 were established.
Station 36 was subsequently renumbered
and constructed as Station 23.

Station 38 was designed as a stand-by
barge for Station 39. The two stations were
Army-type BC Barges with a timber cab and a
shelter for below deck access. The cab was
17x31x12-foot-high with 20-foot-wide sliding
doors on two sides and an 8x16-foot roof hatch.
An 8x16-foot reinforcing steel plate 34-inch thick
was welded to the deck directly under the hatch
opening. A 9x9-foot L-shaped shelter was pro-
vided on the deck to weather protect the access
stairway below deck. The structure was 7 feet
high and of wood construction. Doorways were
provided in the watertight bulkheads below deck
for access to all compartments. The end bulkot
