Construction of the Fan Drive Enclosure of the 40x80 Foot Wind Tunnel at Ames.
Summary
Concrete frame enclosing the fan drive bents of the 40x80 foot wind tunnel at ames. Once installed, six 40-foot-diameter fans, each powered by a 6000-horsepower electric motor maintained airflow at 230 mph or less (these are still tornado velocities).
