SUBJECT: Roof for Atlanta Stadium
Dear Mr. Mayor:
It is suggested that a study be made to the feasibility of the type
roof for the Atlanta Stadium described as follows:
That telescoping rafters or tracks be installed and eight to twelve
pie shaped roof panels of light weight materials be installed on tracks.
Panels could be raised or lowered when necessary. It seems that a roof
of this nature could be operated up and down in a matter of minutes.
The telescoping tracks could be anchored to steel beams now supporting
roof.
Sincerely,
(HLL. Cob»
ester T. Cater
NOTE: If an umbrella type cover is decided using a retractable pole to
lift cover I suggest as a substitute a gas filled balloon to lift cover and
a system be devised to recover the gas for future use.
