A rig carrying an 85-ton contraption arrived in Rolla today. The "superload" delivery was made to the mining engineering department, which plans to use the cargo shown here for explosives testing. The explosives will be placed inside this huge chamber. UMR experts will monitor the explosions and conduct studies. The testing chamber wasn't being used at a Utah location and the Air Force provided a grant to cover its transporation to Rolla.
P.S. That rig has a lot more than 18-wheels on it, doesn't it?
