	Broadcasting House - The Stronghold Story
		These deep tunnels would have given a similar level of protection as that provided by the existing deep-level stations that were being used as air-raid shelters.
		It is unclear just how deep these go, but they would probably have gone down at least to the level of the base of the retaining wall, over 50 feet down, and each was capable of sustaining a working load of 85 tons.
		The floor levels were set to match the planned "No 1 Extension", and a staircase at the west end of the Stronghold led down to a doorway set into the retaining wall at sub-basement level.

	London Underground History - Deep Level Shelters
		All of these shelters were constructed close to and in parallel with the existing platform tunnels of nearby stations on the Northern Line, and have interconnection tunnels with the existing platforms.
		As they were now being used for other purposes, all the deep level shelters were isolated from their associated active Underground stations, in most cases the interconnection tunnels being bricked up.
		The deep level tunnels at Goodge Street have had a particularly interesting history; during the Second World War, they were equipped as General Eisenhower's headquarters and since then they have been used as an army transit camp until a serious (but non-fatal) fire closed the camp on the night of May 21st 1956.

		Returning to the shelter tunnel, from this point the tunnels are lit and used.

		Total particulate action levels are based, in part, on the color of the smoke and the suspected contents of the fire.
		For example, if the explosive level measured by the CGI was 60% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane (3% by volume), technically no fire or explosion hazard exists according to that data.

		The station had to be closed to shelterers 15/03/43 as a result of difficulty of clearing the platforms in the event of flood-door damage.

		The first level is what we think of as a casual encounter, such as two strangers meeting in an elevator or students who "happen" to walk home from school together.
		The second level is a "more sustained relationship, in which, for a time, two people enter into a fairly intense teaching- learning situation and then appear to separate." The third level of teaching is a relationship which, once formed, lasts all our lives.
		Third level, life-long relationships are generally few because "their existence implies that those involved have reached a stage simultaneously in which the teaching learning balance is actually perfect." That doesn't mean, however, that we necessarily recognize our third level assignments; in fact, generally we don't.
