Travis Tate's Work On The Saturn Complex 37 Project

Around the year 1962, Travis worked for Frank M. Murphy and Associates, which was located about 2 miles north of Ft. Meade, Florida on US-17. This company was a subcontractor on the Saturn Complex 37 Project.

The structure seen in the photograph is the top section of the launch tower. It was built in four sections, each weighing 70 tons. Upon completion, this monster had to be transported by truck to Cape Canaveral, Florida. Travis reports that the truck driver had experienced 16 flat tires by the time he reached Bartow, which is nine miles to the north.

The colored photograph shows the Saturn Complex 37 as currently depicted on Flikr.com. I added the banner.

The last photo is a cropped close-up of Travis.
