LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.
The major components of the tent fabric sections are identified in Figure 0002 00-1, and described in the
following paragraphs.
End Panel (1) - Two end fabric panels made of flame resistant, mildew resistant polyester duck enclose
the ends of the structure. These attach with grommets and becket lacing, to the large intermediate fabric
panels. A hook and pile wind flap covers the becket lacing, making the joint weather- proof.
Intermediate Section (2)- Two large rectangular fabric panels, made of flame resistant, mildew resistant
polyester duck, make up the bulk of the LME enclosure. The panels are secured together using built-in
grommets and becket lacing. A hook and pile wind flap covers the becket lacing, making it weather
proof. The fabric is coated white on the inside for maximum light distribution and green on the outside for
low visibility.
Extension of Length (3) - The fabric extension of length is made of the same flame resistant, mildew
resistant polyester duck material as the intermediate and end fabric panels. Its purpose is to connect the
intermediate sections of two completed LMEs. The extension of length is available as an additional item.
Windows (4) - Two rectangular windows are built into each intermediate fabric section. Each window
consists of a screen section for ventilation and a clear plastic section secured by hook and pile fasteners.
The clear plastic provides light while maintaining weather security. A roll - down exterior curtain which is
part of the intermediate fabric section covers each window section, making them weather-proof and light
secure.
Ducts (5)- Three ducts are built into each intermediate fabric section near ground level. The two large
ducts can be used to provide heating or ventilation and the small duct for external power cable access.
The ducts can be closed using tie straps to make them weather-proof and light secure.
Vehicle Access Door (6) - A large vehicle access door is built into each end fabric panel. This door is
attached to the door header track, allowing the upper section of the door to slide. The door can be
secured in the open position using buckles that are attached to the end fabric panels. When closed, the
vehicle access door is weather-proof and light secure.
Personnel Access Door (7) - A smaller personnel access door is also built into each end fabric panel.
This allows access into the structure without opening the large vehicle door. The personnel access door
is secured with hook and pile fasteners, making it weather- proof and light secure.
