Scope Of Work
"Operation Hot-foot," a former top-secret war-construction rush-job with far-reaching "bomb-test" results.
Typical "Japanese Village" two-story homes for industrial workers. Built in the wastes of Utah's desert region for testing new bombs.
Made to exactly conform to Japanese construction, materials and every item of interior furnishings and equipment.
Prefabrication, and a large fleet of trucks running day and night from Pemberton, N.J. to the Utah desert, made completion possible -- from architectural assignment to first bombing -- in 67 days.
