Unknown squadron, site and launcher undergoing salvage operations. Presumed to be taken in the early 1970's, this photo shows the view from inside face C of the cribwork looking down the empty silo at umbilical cabling on face A from beneath the raised missile platform. There is a raised work platform visible on the left side of the photo. Note: photo negative appears to have water damage and exposure problems. Please contact me at chromehooves@hotmail.com if you have any information on this photo. Any help identifying this or any other photos in the archive is greatly appreciated. Taken: Unknown-- probably late 1960's to early 1970's. Source: provided courtesy of the Titan Missile Museum/Nick Halliday (http://www.titanmissilemuseum.org/) - titan elevator-cables-1
Unknown squadron, site and launcher undergoing salvage operations. Presumed to be taken in the early 1970's, this photo shows the view from inside face C of the cribwork looking up toward the bottom of the launcher platform at the idler pulleys and enormous wire ropes that raised and lowered the missile. Elevator umbilical loop cabling on face A is visible in the background extending down into the silo. Please contact me at chromehooves@hotmail.com if you have any information on this photo. Any help identifying this or any other photos in the archive is greatly appreciated. Taken: Unknown-- probably late 1960's to early 1970's.

Unknown AMF engineer about 40' below the silo doors, traversing the catwalks on face D of the silo cribwork at an unknown site and launcher. Launcher appears to be under construction or undergoing engineering modifications in this photo. Nearby duct work leads down into the utilities tunnel below.

(1 of 2) Unknown AMF engineer about 15' below the silo doors, climbing up to the catwalk level of the silo near the launcher elevator motor platform close to the corner of faces B and C of the silo cribwork. Site and launcher are unknown. Launcher appears to be under construction or undergoing engineering modifications in this photo. Elevator motor equipment can be partially seen at the right of photo.

(1 of 2) Unknown AMF engineer about 20' below the silo doors inspects hydraulic lines from the catwalks on face D of the silo cribwork at an unknown site and launcher. Launcher appears to be under construction or undergoing engineering modifications in this photo as evidenced by the safety netting spanning the gaps between the cribwork and silo wall. This photo illustrates the impressive confluence of hydraulic lines and manifolds at this upper level of the cribwork required to drive the many locks, jacks, platforms and other functions of the silo lift system.
