Description PLUMBBOB - 1957 - NEVADA TEST SITE -- A full-size steel door, designed as closure for a dome-type shelter of about 1 50 ft. diameter, will be tested for 35 pounds per square inch side-on overpressure. The prototype door, sponsored by the Federal Civil Defense Administration, is shown in closed position. Operated in the same fashion as a drawbridge, the door drops down into its specially fitted concrete bed, serving as a road or walkway to the shelter. Hinged at the bottom, the door can be designed for manual or power operation.
