New console and control system for the 5. 5 inch air gun
The 5.5 inch air gun, located in Bldg. 882, was originally operated with manual valves, pressure gages and high pressure plumbing, all located in close proximity to the operator. This system was replaced with electrically operated valves and controls. All high pressure plumbing was removed from the vicinity of the operator. Many safety interlocks were incorporated into this new design.
