Symphony Junction	06/13/2007	Rod Horrocks, Roger Harris, William Harris	A large junction with six large radiating passages that has a pendent on the floor that would vibrate differently when touched in different spots, creating a resonate frequency and sound waves that made different pitches. This was discovered by the surveyors who had established a survey station on the top of the pendent while they were resurveying the area.
