Weapon 2 and photophonic installation
The transverse corridor of the concrete pillbox seen from the position
of Weapon 1. On the right the air-tight door which opens to the main corridor,
on the left the alcove with opening of the photophonic installation for
communication with Center 19, at the back the position of the machine gun A2. Notice the
ceiling reinforced with a pair of metal beams. (24/06/1999).
The position of Weapon 2 (A2), located at the far right of the transverse
corridor of the concrete pillbox, is equipped with a three-part plate which
is strong enough to support heavy caliber weapons.
The niche underneath the armor plate which held the container of cooling
water for the machine gun, indicates that it was intended for the machine
gun model Fiat 14.
Center 19, partially submerged in the lake, seen from the photophonic
opening of Center 20 (24/06/1999).
A pair of tubes, which served to support the photophonic apparatus (one for the
sender and one for the receiver) and were originally imbedded in the beginning
part of the opening, have been removed.
