100-Foot Steel Tower

 

The tower at Ground Zero was shipped to Trinity site in sections. Concrete footings poured 20 feet into the desert supported it.
At its top, the tower had an oak platform surrounded on three sides with sheets of corrugated iron. The iron shack's open side faced toward the camera bunker to the west.
