Summary

Significance: At the acid fueling station, Nike crews fueled the booster, and attached it to the missile. The missiles were also armed with their warheads at the acid fueling station. The station was built in 1956 from standardized drawings approved by the Corps of Engineers, most of which were designed by the firm of Leon Chatelian, Jr., of Washington, D.C.
