Arch barrel of one of Navy's large timber blimp docks, involving 1,700,000 ft bm, erected in 156 hr, complete with all facilities, such as monitor monocrane rails, catwalks and lighting conduits, that otherwise would have required scaffolding; speed is ascribed to organization and teamwork of crews on two-derrick traveler that lifted arch segments two ribs wide.
