Platform In The Sea -- Here is a closeup of a section of one of the "Texas Towers," newest device in our far flung radar and air raid warning network, being built offshore along the Atlantic coast. Towers, named for oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, will be built along the continental shelf, some of them as far as 125 miles out at sea. Caissons are lowered to bottom through the six-foot diameter "wells" rising from the platform. Accommodation for 20 to 30 men who'll man towers will be built on huge platforms.
