The National Cash Register Co. is a natural for gold, but actually its exhibit centers about "Man and His Records," which dramatizes the science of recording, analyzing and storing information.

- Although the footprint of the NCR Pavilion was small compared to the other industrial giants represented at the Fair, maximum use of space was gained by employing "space frame" construction that created an interior exhibit space free of support column obstructions. The spider web-like frames can be seen at the roof and second floor levels. The upper space frame actually supported the lower by use of tie-rods which connected them together. The NCR Pavilion occupied a prime spot at the Fair - in the Court of the Moon across from the Lunar Fountain.

- This rare interior view of the pavilion looks down into the lower level exhibit area from the second floor. Note the lack of interior supports. The tie-bars connecting the upper and lower space frams can be seen surrounding the opening between the two floors which accommodated the escalators.
