A strong new generator hut which will become the heart of Japanese Antarctic Research Expeditions Showa Base was complated recently. The generator hut has a floor space of 68.8 square meters and contains two 45 KVA generators, an ice melting tank and a hat bath. The hut, which is the first step toward making the Japanese Antarctic base a permanent one, was made according to the multipurpse building and assembling method a new technique developed by the Takenaka Building Research Institute in Tokyo. The generartor hut is oval shaped and is made mostly of aluminium sandwich panels. It has been designed so that seven or eight men can easily construct it on very rough terrain. It is an assembly type structure weighing a total of seven tons. Since it will be the heart of life in Antarctic base, heaviest emphasis was placed on resistance to fire and cold. It has been designed to withstand maximum winds of 60 meters per second (134 miles per hour) and temperatures of 45 degrees below zoro centigrade.
