据航空与导弹研究、发展与工程中心（AMRDEC）报道，美军在阿拉巴马红石兵工厂（Redstone Arsenal）高329英尺的哨塔（名为Russell Tower）的两台电梯，一台用于运载人和货物，另一台则是能在0至300英尺高度上进行试验的移动实验室，均需要进行翻修。

　　该哨塔由美军军方用于测试，最低高度为300英尺，另一座位于佛罗里达埃格林空军基地。修复该哨塔的两台电梯，使其恢复正常运行是当务之急。由于资金有所保证，相信工程很快就会展开。

　　ELEVATORS PART OF UPGRADE AT ARMY TOWER IN ALABAMA

　　A pair of elevators — one for passengers and equipment and the other described as a “movable laboratory able to conduct tests from 0 to 300 ft.” — are part of the refurbishment of the 329-ft.-tall Russell Tower in Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, used by the U.S. Army to observe test systems against physical targets, the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) reports.

　　The tower is one of two U.S. military instrumentation towers of 300 ft. or higher, with the other at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Getting the elevators up and running in Russell Tower is a top priority, according to AMRDEC. Funding has been secured, and work is expected to start soon.
