SUBJECT Moveable Shelving Project Activity for Month of
May 1971
1. We encountered the problem of not being able to obtain the
services of the0 Photographers for the purpose of taking photo-
graphs of the various stages of the Moveable Shelving Project;
therefore, I went to Headquarters on 5 May to borrow a camera from
the Printing Services' Division. Also, I received instructions on the
use of the camera, and I have been able to obtain satisfactory photos
of all stages of the project thus far.
2. On 6 May we finished relocating boxes in the third bay, Area
E to F. This area was turned over to the contractor on this date.
3., Three local concrete finishers, who had been cleared by
Security Officer, reported for work on 10 May. They completed pouring
three fourths of one bay; however, it was necessary for Mr.II and
Mr. to remain in the area until 1900 to enable the con-
tractors to finish pouring the cement in this area. A total of 4 hours
of overtime was paid for this afterhour escort.
4. On 11 May only one of the original concrete finishers returned
with one new man who had no clearance from the 0 Security Officer.
Mr.~ after discussing the situation with the =Security Officer,
instructed me to admit the new man. The first two bays were com-
pleted by the concrete finishers on 12 May with one to one and a half
inches of lightweight concrete being poured in the center aisle for
about 15 feet starting at the fire door. This was covered by heavy
weight concrete. I noted that as much heavy weight concrete was thrown
away as lightweight was used. Again on the 12th, it was necessary for
someone to escort the contractors aftorhours, and Mr.1 and Mx.
Iremained until 1800 hours.
5. Two electricians began removing the old light fixtures on
17 May, and on 24 May a total of 70 old light fixtures were removed
from the building to the lower parking lot.

rail. This item should be discussed with the =Engineering Officer,
who in turn should notify the contractor of this change if it is made.
One of the contractor's reported on this date to lay tile and completed
one half of the first bay except for strips between the tile and the
rail.
on 26 May the 1/8" height of the rail from top of the concrete. We
decided it would be much better to have the concrete level with the
instructed as to the kind to use. I also discussed with Mr.
to hold the tile should not be used to hold the vinyl strip. He
notified me that this would be changed, and the contractor would be
6. On.24 and 25 May it was necessary to furnish escort for three
=men moving alarm boxes for second floor East and West. Also on
this date, the first increment of the moveable shelving was loaded
onto carriages.
7. On 25 May the electricians finished installing lights except
the ones between the air ducts and walls, and Mr.
=gave the "OK" to lay the tile which was 14 days after the first
concrete was poured. 25X1A9a
8. I informed Mr. II on 26 May that the black adhesive used
25X1A9a 9. On 27 May the electrical contractor and the electrical
engineer agreed to a 4 ft. and 8 ft. light between wall and air duct.
This will be tested after the shelves are loaded. Mr.
and Mr. 0 came over to talk Mr.O concerning various items
25X1A9a regarding the shelving. Mr. stated that the edges would have
to be straightened and leveled before the first bay would be accepted.
The contractor agreed with Mr. 0 that this should be done. There
a
25X1A9
was considerable discussion regarding a new device to keep the slot
for the chain drive at 1 1/2" and level and straight. The contractor
stated that a 9" tile would hold up better than stripping along the
guide rails. I feel that a test should be made concerning this. Also,
I pointed out the uneveness and roughness of the concrete. The space
between the edge of the stripping and the rail in some places is as
much as 2 3/16". This is too much space for a 5" cart wheel to travel
over. We tested a 8" wheel and a 5" wheel over these spaces. It was
decided the 8" wheel would be more desirable.

10. On 28 May it was brought to my attention by the contractor
that two bundles of 36" angles were missing, and after considerable
searching for the angles, I reported that I was unable to locate them.
11. Escort for the contractor was furnished every day during
this reporting period by from one to three men each day.
