Description PLUMBBOB - 1957 - NEVADA TEST SITE -- This prototype shelter door, designed by American Machine and Foundry Company, was relatively undamaged by a recent atomic test. This blast however, removed a steel flange from the right side of the door, and ripped away one end of a steel flange on the left side. Technicians of the Civil Effects Test Group, NTO say the door, which was designed and located for testing at a pressure of about 35 pounds per square inch, could be used as it stands. The full-size drawbridge type door is designed as closure for a dome-type shelter of about 150-feet diameter. The door, shown in closed position, drops into its specially fitted concrete bed, and serves as a road or walkway into the shelter. It can be fitted for manual or power operation.
