Summary

Description
English: This is a copy of an interoffice memo, dated October 13, 1987, signed by Ben Dusenbery and Morris Worland of the Martin Marietta Corporation, noting the successful completion of the structural refurbishment and modification of the facility at Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

Ben Dusenbery was Martin Marietta Mechanical Systems Engineer, and Morris Worland was Martin Marietta Chief; Design, Construction and Procedures.

This letter addresses and identifies the fact that, as part of the work required to create a launch facility for Titan IV at Complex 41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (since renamed Cape Canaveral Space Force Station), the existing Titan III structures at the launch pad, consisting of the Mobile Service Tower and the Umbilical Tower, were not demolished, but instead were refurbished, and the refurbishment involved modifications instead of a complete demolishment of those structures.

This letter implicitly identifies Ben Dusenbery and Morris Worland as Martin Marietta principles to this modification work, and further explicitly identifies Martin Marietta personnel (not specifically identified as such) as "D. Bollinger", "E. Roberts", "W. Dimoush", "J. Harris", and "W. Deem", as well as Ivey Steel contracting personnel "W. Ivey" (Wade Ivey, owner Ivey Steel), "Richard Walls - Site Supervisor", "Reynsol Chiles - Site Foreman", "Jim MacLaren - Assistant Supervisor", and Alfred Stevens - Field Liaison", and acknowledges the successful resolution of numerous unforseen problems with the original Martin Marietta engineering design package for the facility, and constitutes an unusual document insofar as interoffice memos of this sort were not a thing ordinarily encountered on projects of this nature, which itself is testimony to the level of difficulty encountered during this particular large aerospace project.
