Multi shelter system with inflated roof

[firefox]

Does anyone have any information about this electronic com
base that I believe was used as a air support hub. I believe it consisted
of about 10 or more shelters arranged in two rows. The rows consisted of
shelters end to end. One wall of the shelter consisted of two floor panels
which folded down to form a platform. The shelters were arranged so that the
platforms met in the middle from both rows. Then there was an inflatable roof
erected over the center platform.

Don't know about 10 in a row, but there are rigid wall shelters almost all the time on GL that have a wall that folds out and attaches to another shelter, one for the floor, the other for the roof - they wind up with a 20 x 24 foot room (or thereabouts). The secret is to get a matched pair of shelters, not two floor or two roof shelters.

I have just one of these. it was stripped out so not much to see. It looks like a S280 except that
if you look at one side you will see a hinge on the bottom connecting the side to the floor, and then
at the top of that panel a hinge to a second panel. I had some pictures of a whole system being erected but had some computer problems. I am still looking and If I find them I will post them.

These made use of the M720 dolly sets.

1(4) The U. S. Air Force Tactical Air Control System Control and Reporting Center (CRC), designated the AN/TSQ-91;


Tactical Air Control Systems Operations Center Under the Project 407L Tactical Air Control Systems program, RADC had been assigned the engineering responsibility for the AN/TSQ-91 Control and Reporting Center/Post element. Personnel completed Category II testing of the AN/TSQ-91 at Eglin AFB during the last quarter of the fiscal year.

In the early 1970s, the unit received its new AN/TPS-43E Radar and the AN\TSQ-91 (The Bubble).

your probably looking at the remains of an TSQ-91

That is all I have. I am trying to find the two types of leveling jacks. One is a large one and looks like a piece of 6" pipe with a crank on one side and a mounting plate on the other that attaches to the shelter.
The smaller one is for leveling the fold out decks, and I have no idea what it looks like other
than it must have a plate which is round or half round and is positioned so that the round part cranks up and locks into an aluminum plate bolted to the edge of the panel.
