Sidewalk superintendents were out in full force to oversee Berkeley's 72-inch bubble chamber's "walk" from Building 59 to its new temporary site against the Bevatron's west wall. The move took place on July 5, 1961. Paul Hernandez of mechanical engineering conceived the ingenious idea of devising a hydraulic walking method. With this system the bubble-chamber magnet could make right angle turns and maneuver into very tight spaces, thus eliminating the need for an outside rigging contractor. Bubble Chamber-1030
