Construction at Beale 851-A, silo #1 showing the launcher elevator motor and platform suspended by its four enormous spring assemblies at the catwalk level. Note that the wire ropes for the elevator and the hydraulic rams for the silo doors are not yet installed. This is the system that raised and lowered the missile for launch or for storage in "hard" condition. Taken: July 24, 1961. Source: Martin Co.
