What you have are the end sections of an ASSEMBLY Tent. Want to know more?
Read on:

  The Assembly Tent is a large circus-type expandable design. The tent is
40 feet wide and is typically built 80 feet long. The tent can be extended
in 20 foot increments. The "Big Top" is 18' high and the eave height is 8
feet high. At 80' the tent weighs in at 1,755 lbs. with pins and poles
included. The sidewalls can be detached to provide a large sheltered area.
The 80' version can seat approximately 500 persons or billet 80 persons.
The outer shell is still OD cotton duck. The erection time is 5 hours and 2
hours to strike with a 5 soldier crew.
The LIN for the complete system (non stocked) 8340-00-262-2877 is V47345.

Please note the block and tackle is not stocked but any standard commercial
block and tackle will work to hoist the fabric to the center poles top.
