[i]Steel workers sign a signature plate and prepare a live, potted kumquat tree for a "topping out" ceremony to take place when the tenth and final tower section of the new mobile launcher is hoisted onto the tower later this week. In ancient Scandinavian society, the placement of an evergreen tree on a building's ridge pole signaled to all who helped with its construction that the celebration of its completion would begin. In this "green" version of the custom, the kumquat tree will be removed from the tower after the ceremony and planted. [/i]
