If I get a few minutes today I will look through the MR mags, there was a
Layout that was done based on this area of the Q and had the Tower included,
there area couple pictures of it, and don;t think there were and drawings or
plans for it but don;t hold me to it.
I'll check it out and see if I can find the issue,
