The recamnended primary top structure would consist of straight I-section beams welded radially to a stiff centre ring. Secondary structure would be bolted to the primary in order that the maximum crane lift be limited to approximately 100 tons. The top and bottan of the vacuum tank would be 7/8 inches thick, supported by 1-1/2 inch diameter tie rods at a spadng not greater than 33 inches. Leveling of the magnet cores would be accanplished by a system con-sisting of hydraulic actuators for raising, used in conjunction with mechanically motor operated wedges for precise height setting. Alte~ natively, motor operated Acme screw jacks of 150 tons capacity operating through simple lever mechanisms should be considered further. To elevate the top structure and upper magnet cores, a system util-izing 150 ton Acme screw jacks synchronized to control vertical…
