Description:The 500th move of a VLA antenna took place on 5 November 1984. The cartoon, drawn by Paul Harden, commemorates the milestone event and the dedication of the transporter crews. The crews braved scorching sun and blowing snow (and probably blowing sand), as well as wobbling tracks (and sometimes broken ones as the cartoon suggests) to move antennas to a new location. The transporters at that time were named Hein's Trein and CamTrak, honoring long-time NRAO staff members Hein Hvatum and Cam Wade. Photograph of original cartoon drawn by Paul Harden. [show more]

Construction |
Description:Before any VLA construction began, there was extensive soil testing at the site in the center and along all the proposed arms. Environmental engineering firms, geologists from New Mexico Tech, several local drilling companies, and local excavators were all involved in the multi-month process, and many core samples were extracted for analysis. In this 31 August 1973 photo, the rig from Albuquerque Testing is drilling a test hole on the southwest arm to extract core samples. The Lorenzo well is in the background. [show more]
