The name of the testing activity and the name of the person performing the test.   The date the test was performed.   The date of the next required inspection may be included, if desired. If the test period has expired or if documentation is not  available  to  verify  the  latest  load  test  status,  the equipment is tested before it is used. If the equipment fails   the   load   test   specifications,   the   equipment   is destroyed or, if economically feasible, repaired. REVIEW NUMBER 2 ANSWERS A1. Missile  magazines  are  vented  to  the atmosphere. A2. Mk 58 marine location markers shouldn't be stowed in magazines that are equipped with sprinklers. A3. In a shipboard magazine, the FH circuit indicates a rapid rise in temperature. A4. Mk  3  or  Mk  12  metal  pallets  are  used  as magazine stowage dunnage aboard ship. A5. NAVSEASYSCOM  should  be  notified  if  the temperature  in  any  magazine  is  consistently above 100ºF. A6. The ship's gunner controls all magazine keys aboard ship. Weapons Elevators There   are   currently   more   than   150   weapons elevators, involving over 55 different designs, installed on aircraft carriers. The size, type, and location of these weapons elevators will vary among the different classes of aircraft carriers. The  following  text  contains  a  brief  description  of the two major classifications (lower-stage and upper-stage)  of  weapons  elevators.  Regardless  of  the type of installation, a weapons elevator provides a safe and  efficient  means  for  you  to  handle  weapons  and weapons  components  among  the  magazines  and  the various  assemblies,  staging,  and  arming  areas  within the ship. LOWER-STAGE WEAPONS ELEVATORS (5,500   POUNDS).—The   5,500-pound,   lower-stage, weapons  elevator  (fig.  11-10)  services  magazines  and ammunition handling areas from the 7th-deck level up to and including the 2nd-deck level. The components of the elevator include an electrically powered, multiple-drum   winch,   an   elevator   platform,   and   an enclosed, watertight, vertical trunk with doors located at the levels and stations serviced, and a semiautomatic control system. Ramps  are  used  to  bridge  the  gaps  in  the  door opening  between  the  elevator  platform  and  the  deck. These allow you to load or unload the elevator platform by using forklift trucks or wheeled skids. Each   lower-stage   elevator   is   equipped   with   a broken-rope   safety   device,   an   over   speed   governor device, and slack cable-sensing devices. The broken-rope  safety  device  is  mounted  on  the  elevator platform    assembly.    If    any    one    of    the    platform suspensions ropes break, a roller-wedging mechanism automatically operates to lock the platform to the guide rails. A counterweight-type governor device for limiting speed of elevator down travel is located in the upper end of the elevator trunk. The governor is operated by a wire rope  connected  to  a  lever  of  the  broken-rope  safety device   on   the   elevator   platform.   Then,   the   rope   is passed  over  the  governor  sheave  and  attached  to  the governor    spooling    drum    on    the    hoisting    winch. Excessive   down   speeds   causes   the   governor   limits 11-18 Figure 11-10.—Typical 5,000-pound, lower-stage, weapons elevator.
