After all the individual pieces of the crates were painted at Centennial Science Hall, they were moved to Central Storage and assembled and then loaded. Crate 1 contained the 5' Marker Poles and the Styrofoam Blocks. After the pipes and foam blocks were placed in the crate, air bladders were added and inflated to prevent the marker poles from shifting in transit.
