The wave frequency is controlled by a remote tide gauge in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, that sends actual wave heights to the sculpture's control mechanism in real time.[3] Sanborn built a quarter-size scale model of the sculpture and consulted with a wave engineer while doing research for the project.[2] References1. ^{{cite news |first=Benjamin |last=Forgey |title=A hand, a wave, a winner; Sculptures bring out the best at NOAA complex |newspaper=Washington Post |at=Section B, p. 1 |date=November 20, 1993}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |first=Joanna |last=Shaw-Eagle |title=Artist sheds new light on sculpture |newspaper=Washington Times |at=Part D, p. 1 |date=June 1, 1997}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://elonka.com/kryptos/sanborn/coastline.html |first=Elonka |last=Dunin |title=Sanborn's Coastline Sculpture |accessdate=February 8, 2011}} 8 : 1993 establishments in Maryland|1993 sculptures|Buildings and structures in Silver Spring, Maryland|Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland|Granite sculptures in Maryland|National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|Outdoor sculptures in Maryland|Sculptures by Jim Sanborn |
