Total System Weight 353 lbs (160 kg) Total Volume Packed 33 cu ft Total Square Feet Deployed 150 Height at Eaves 7 ft Height at Ridge 9.5 ft SECTION III.  TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 1-12. OPERATION OF THE MCPS. a. Frame  Assembly.    The  basic  frame  assembly  is  constructed  of  aluminum  alloy  tubing  that  is  assembled  with  a series of fittings and joints.  Two end wall assemblies connect to a center wall assembly with eave and ridge purlins that snap  together.    Cable  assemblies  allow  the  frame  to  support  roof  loads  by  connecting  the  sides  of  the  MCPS  together. The telescoping feature of the leg assemblies facilitates the raising of the frame assembly one side at a time, and permits the MCPS to be set up on sloping terrain. b. Fabric Sections.  The MCPS utilizes four exterior fabric wall sections of similar dimensions that can be arranged as desired.  The wall sections are suspended from the roof cap with a series of quick disconnect male/female fasteners, as  well  as  strips  of  hook  and  pile  fasteners.    Light  colored  wall  liners,  of  similar  dimensions,  aide  in  light  diffusion  and provide insulation.  They can also be used as outside walls during warm weather and during daylight.  The entrance way wall liners are also used on the window walls.  A light colored floor attaches to the walls with quick disconnect male and female fasteners.  The roof cap contains two ventilation vents and a stove pipe opening.  A covered entry way that is an integral part of the entrance way wall provides environmental protection and allows maintenance of light discipline.  When two or more tents are complexed a rain gutter connects between two tents to help rain water run off.  See Appendix G for technical principles of operation of the M577 Boot Wall. 1-13
