TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION1-12.OPERATION OF THE MCPS.a.FrameAssembly. The basic frame assembly is constructed of aluminum alloy tubing that is assembled with aseries of fittings and joints. Two end wall assemblies connect to a center wall assembly with eave and ridge purlins thatsnap 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 permitsthe MCPS to be set up on sloping terrain.b.FabricSections. The MCPS utilizes four exterior fabric wall sections of similar dimensions that can be arrangedas 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 andprovide insulation. They can also be used as outside walls during warm weather and during daylight. The entrance waywall liners are also used on the window walls. A light colored floor attaches to the walls with quick disconnect male andfemale fasteners. The roof cap contains two ventilation vents and a stove pipe opening. A covered entry way that is anintegral part of the entrance way wall provides environmental protection and allows maintenance of light discipline. Whentwo or more tents are complexed a rain gutter connects between two tents to help rain water run off. See Appendix G fortechnical principles of operation of the M577 Boot Wall.1-13
