Radial bearing measurements of the 64-m antenna, DSS 14

The inspection fixtures and methods used to determine the extent of the aximuth radial bearing deformation at the 64 m DSS 14 are described. An annular separation developed between the circular steel runner and the grout, suggesting either failure of the grout or, as the case appears to be, stretching of the circular steel runner due to the formation of rust on the runner at the grout interface.
