• S153: Sprint launch cell.
  • From Chuck Angelo:
    The pole like apparatus next to the Sprint launch cell was the AC power source for the missile loader and maintenance trucks. There is a power bunker under ground with the transformers and breakers. This pole is just above the vault. The power cord from the maintenance and missile transporter trucks connected to the gray switch box with a large 4 pin connector.
