Description

A trapezoidal concrete wireless mast stay wire anchor 15A for mast 15, for the 1923 antenna extension array, which used 400’ steel lattice masts to support the inverted-L antenna. Three such anchors per mast were used for single-height staying. Each anchor featured an iron attachment point for turnbuckle tensioners and two iron loops, used for temporary guying, either side. It measures 3.5m long by 2.5m wide.
