The plaque says, "Each hanger is comprised of three main sections: The two doors and the arched roof
The two door sections are identical supporting structures of concrete located at each end of the hanger. Each structure consitis of two pillars, six huge door panels, and a brace connecting the two pillars at the top.
The pillars are sued as pocked to house the hanger doors when open.
There are three hanger doors in each pillar. Each opening has a pair of reinforced concrete towers approximately 145 feet high which support the overhead box beam, which serves to guide the top of the door panels and provides part of the roof enclosure.
Each 120-foot high, 37-foot wide door leaf sits on a rolling carriage set on rails and operated by electric motors. They were operated by motorizes cables and generally took about two mounts to open or close."
