Inspections, Care & Custody
Gap Filler Radar Stations

With reference to your 10-36 (SOCE) of 11 Jun 63 regarding inspections, care & custody of the Gap Filler Radar Stations, we have listed on the attached Appendix "A" the stations for which keys were required to be issued and the responsible station and date on which they were issued. Where "No" appears in that column, it shall be understood that no buildings have been erected. There are, however, radar towers erected on some sites where no security fencing has been erected. In accordance with our S10-136-80/5 (DCEM) of 14 May 63, these stations will require the same inspection services as if the buildings existed.

Certain corrections have been made to the names of the stations or designations to bring your Appendix "A" up-to-date.
