The Azusa area is characterized by six radars located at four points around
a central control bunker (see attached sketch). The Azusa facility is oriented along
an azimuth of 0 which is nearly identical with the= orientation of the Azusa
facility yura Tam. .It is probable that both facilities have identical orientations,
and thedifference recorded results from geographic location and mensural
difficulties.
The instrumentation area contains approximately 12 buildings and several
earth-covered bunkers. One building has a large astro-dome on the roof and is
probably a camera or theodolite position. Considerable track actiuity and cable
scars are apparent between the Azusa and instrumentation areas.
