Older style: Burlap and cord netting used wooden poles sections and stakes to hold up the netting. Both the netting and poles were heavy and awkward to setup.

GPA-29 Display Board Plotting Group
Notes: Provides facilities for receiving information from a radar set PPI scope, filters it and presents the filtered data on a surveillance screen for use in a Tactical Air Control Center.
GPS-29A Display Plotting Board Group
Notes: An optical plotting device used in conjunction with conventional radar equipments such as Radar Set AN/MPS-7 or AN/TPS-ID, Radar Recognition Set Mark X, and Radio Set AN/TRC-1 or AN/TRC-8. The AN/GPA-29A receives video information representing the position of targets displayed on the radar plan position indicator (PPI). Facsimile Converter Group OA- 948/GPA-29, of the AN/GPA-29A equipment, reduces the radar video bandwidth, and converts azimuth synchronizing information to a suitable form for simultaneous transmission with the radar video over a two-wire voice frequency circuit. Facsimile Converter Group Encoder OA-948/ GPA-29 uses a standard 600-ohm telephone line or a frequency-modulated radio link to provide a maximum if five paralleled outputs of radar presentation through carrier bay equipment to remote Video Decoder KY-180-GPA-29. Video Decoder KY-180' GPA-29 decodes the radar data and provides filtering, projection, and plotting data for projection on the translucent surveillance screen. Manufacturer: Westinghouse Electric Corp. (TM 11-487C-1)
GSA-12 Display Plotting Board Group
Notes: A group of equipments that form the nucleus of a tactical air control center. The AN/GSA-12 contains vertical and horizontal plotting surfaces, elevated platforms, and 12 small control desks, having provisions for mounting telephone equipment. Information received by controller personnel at telephone equipment desks is relayed to plotting personnel located at the plotting board assemblies. Status information is shown on the boards by means of the paint and crayons supplied as accessories. Plotting, re-plotting, and projection may be accomplished as necessary to keep information current and to maintain suitable control over flight movements.
The method of construction of the AN/GSA-12 permits disassembly and packing into 17 cases containing all parts, spare parts, and accessories needed for the completed assembly. Eight of these transit cases act as platforms for plotters or controllers in the completed operations setup. Manufacturer: Doehler Metal Furniture Co., Inc. (TM 11-487C-1)
