Scope and content
Special crates had to be constructed out of plywood to hold radar units due to their unusual shape and size. Instead of ordinary rectangular or square containers, crates were built in more of a triangular shape. Here a worker is shown on January 10, 1957, balancing on top of a radar unit so that he can hammer down the crate's sides. A wooden ladder was necessary so he could climb aboard. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association.
