Trivially easy - both the rack and the tower can be seen at this location.

Final closing comment. Note the craftsmanship of knight chess symbol carved as opening on rack assume symbolic of something? Here’s a hint for any OSINT takers.

Here’s the rest of the Mexia nuclear test diagnostic rack on the transporter trailers outside at Los Alamos TA 60. Would be fun basic student OSINT training project to try to find on over head images.

Here’s one of the canisters Mexia also note the stand for device mounting. The canister was lined with boron carbide-loaded polyethylene bricks to absorb neutrons. The Mexia underground nuclear test was scheduled to follow the Divider final nuclear test by US

They built a similar modular service tower at Los Alamos for test the diagnostic rack before shipping. It is still there today. A lot of the diagnostic rack transport equipment is too! Probably could see the orange rack on google earth.

At the test site they would lower the test diagnostic rack down the hole with one of these modular services towers. Also, they would monitor diagnostics from the control point in the war room during the test.

They built the diagnostic racks at Los Alamos and shipped them on specially built trailers. “La cuna” in use in the north bay of TA-60-0017, 1990
