APPENDIX

DETAILS OF PROPOSED INSTALLATION

Pursuant to Bureau authority, dated February 12,

1964, a survey was conducted to determine the feasibility of

effecting misur coverage on subject's private office at

the Ken Iron and Steel Company, 1263 Third Ave., New

Kensington, Pa:

The Ken Iron and Steel Company is located in the

twelve hundred block of Third Avenue and fronts on this

avenue, while the rear of the enclosed yard bounds on

Spruce Alley, running east-west between Second and Third

Avenues and terminating at the east end of this yard.

Residences on both Second and Third Avenues are telephonically

v serviced through a lead-sheathed aerial cable traversing the

side of Spruce Alley from west to east, which terminates

on utility pole #19319 immediately behind the yard. From

this utility pole

the cable is dropped into the company's

office's cellar where it terminates in a twenty-five

"protector-

paired" box,

five pairs of which service the office's various.

individual

telephone numbers.

The location of this office

Is approxinately 16 wire-miles fromithe Pittsburgh Office

CS PG 187-S advised that a cable-record check

for use.

One pair was

selected (Pair 847) and on testing it,

measured 2,055 ohms with a db loss of 8.7 over the approximate

16 wire-miles.

number of private-line instruments. On the north wall is

mounted a 44A block.

It is proposed that one mike be installed in the

wall at a height of 34" and a point 22" from the northwest

corner.

Ingress to this area can be made by removing one

section of plank, two at the most.

The preamp leads will be

extended behind the plank, downward and will emerge on

the top interior west wall of the cellar and will thereafter

be secreted to the cable outlet.

It is anticipated that the installation personnel

will enter the Ken Iron and Steel Company surreptitiously.

Prior to entry, all logical principals will be placed

under surveillance and will be surveiled during the entire

operation.

Special Agent personnel who are acquainted with

the subjects and key associates will be placed in strategic

positions to provide utmost security throughout the entire

operation

to insure advance warning of any

approach by the afore-

mentioned

persons. It is realized that trespass will occur

but every precaution will be taken to prevent any possibility

of compromise.
