Three concrete foot blocks for the 400’ tall, triangular lattice mast  (mast 15) of the 1923-4 antenna extension array. The bases are arranged in a triangle on a platform cut into the hillside. Each footpad measures 2.5m square by 0.2m high and has a central rectangular depression within which eight protruding steel bolts are set for the securing of the mast feet.
