anywhere in the building.<br />
More information on these dome audio-systems can be received by contacting<br />
staff astronomers, telescope operators and other<br />
technical staff members at the observatory.<br />
Loaned Equipment<br />
On special occasions, certain instruments or apparatus may be loaned to<br />
Observers who have experienced difficulty with their own<br />
equipment. Observers should not, however, rely on the availability of any<br />
apparatus on loan unless prior explicit arrangements have<br />
been made in writing with the Corporation. This applies, for example, to such<br />
items as vacuum pumps, oscilloscopes, amplifiers,<br />
cryogenic transfer tubes, etc.<br />
Telephone<br />
Observers may use the telephone at the summit. It is very reliable, but<br />
occasionally may be out of operation for a few days at a<br />
time during severe storms. Long-distance calls should be made collect, by credit<br />
card, or billed to a home phone number.<br />
In cases when it is impossible to do this, Observers may still make calls which<br />
will, in turn, be billed to them.<br />
There also is a FAX machine (No. (808) 935-4511).<br />
Photocopier<br />
A small photocopier is available in the staff office (4th Floor). It may be used for a<br />
limited amount of copying.<br />
Safety Equipment<br />
Hard hats are required in the dome and hatch areas. They are located on the 4th<br />
and 5th floor.<br />
In case of minor injury, first aid supplies can be found in the first aid room on the<br />
ground floor and at various other locations<br />
throughout the building.<br />
For emergency escape (e.g. in case of fire or trapping) escape devices have<br />
been installed on the 4th and 5th floor mezzanine<br />
exit doors, as well as in the crane cab inside the dome.<br />
