7 CONTROL AND INSTRUMENT BUILDING In this reinforced concrete building are located the control rooms, control equip- ment and data recording instruments for six research sites. The data recording instruments are also used by five other sites. Over 13,500 electrical lines are contained in the instrument and control cables that can be seen entering the building. Since no personnel are permitted in the test site during research operations, all test sites have to be remotely controlled and closed circuit television systems are used so that the test operators can visually observe the research tests which are taking place a quarter-of-a-mile away.
