EDITORS COMMENTS
This architectural design, dating back to circa 1939, showcases Tecton Bomb Shelter Design 7, capable of accommodating an impressive 7,600 people. The intricate sectional view reveals the various features intended for the safety and survival of a large community during air raids. The entrance ramps (1) lead to an air-lock and first raid post (2), ensuring a controlled entry and exit to maintain air pressure. An air extract or intake (3) is situated at the top of the shelter, allowing fresh air to circulate in and stale air to escape. A lift for garage use in peace time (4) is also included, transforming into a crucial mechanism for transporting supplies and people during an emergency. Baffle walls (5) are featured to reduce the impact of blast waves, while storage space (6) is provided for essential supplies. A water sump (7) collects rainwater and condensation, which is pumped through a water pump (8) to provide clean drinking water. The lift motor (9) is essential for operating the shelter's various mechanisms, while ventilation fans (10) maintain air quality. Poison gas filters (11) protect the inhabitants from harmful gases. This Tecton Bomb Shelter Design 7, with its comprehensive features, exemplifies the innovative architectural solutions that emerged during the era of air raid shelters. The intricate details of this design serve as a testament to the ingenuity and foresight of its creators, providing a glimpse into the past and the preparations made for the uncertain future.
