We have tentatively identified the actions that are required and who would do them. As soon as we smell diesel fumes we should try to have the procedure worked out. Fred Crews and I worked on the design and operation sequence for the switch to emergency generator in the event of the loss commercial power. We are both ready and willing to answer questions or go over the system at any time. Good initial drafts of the different room layouts have been completed.
Work is ongoing.
Issues related to JL Layouts There will be a need to run copper wire between the Tape Room and the USNO Control Room. There is also a need to run coax cable into the shielded rooms to connect an antenna to the GPS receivers. This may require special filtering. All cables under the computer floor in the sheilded rooms require special insulation since they need to be rated for use in plenums. He was told that vibrations are not a problem and that the Maser could probably be placed on the computer floor.
