 | | Old hoist shafts were closed, new shafts were cut through mass concrete, space was created for the new hoist mechanism in the magazine, and a heavy concrete roof called a splinterproof was built over the top of the replacement hoist. |
 | | At about the same time, special booths (to house a distance writing instrument called a telautograph) were built to the rear of many emplacements, and extensions were added to some loading platforms. |
 | | The tall telautograph booth, the free-standing truck recesses, the small platform extension at emplacement one, the battery commanders station, and the Taylor-Raymond hoist positions with their thick concrete covers, all indicate improvements to the battery to keep it modern and useful. |
