Description

Drag type Butler building prior to the April 1955 MET (Military Effects Test).

Four such structures were built for the Met (Military Effects Test) test. Two were of the drag type: the roofing and siding were fragile/breakable corrugated asbestos sheets. Two were of the semi-drag type: buildings with reinforced concrete side walls and corrugated asbestos roofing. All four had the same steel frames: 30 feet in overhead height and spans of 40 feet. The two drag type buildings were located 3,600 and 4,350 feet from ground zero, and the two semi-drag structures were 5,000 and 5,750 feet from ground zero. The four buildings were modified for the 1957 Priscilla test.
