View of concrete specimens being tested for resistance to sulfate waters in ponds at elevation 1930 southwest of the 230-Kv switchyard at Coulee Dam. View shows cylinders, bars, and posts from test batches 48-72 setting in original alkali pond prior to being permanently transferred to a second pond because of leakage. Depth of water in pictures is about 3 inches. Marks showing normal 3-foot depth can be seen on the posts below the numbers. White deposits on posts are alkali deposits. Note serious deterioration of specimens of batches 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, and 64.
