- TRIBUTE TO TRANSPORTATION
|
|
- FROM THE WHEEL TO THE ROCKET, the story of locomotion can be traced in the Fair's Transporation Area. But the major emphasis is on the automobile - past, present and future - which is no surprise, inasmuch as the area's (and Fair's) three largest tenants are Chrysler, Ford and General Motors. Here, from the Avenue of Automation, we see Chrysler's engineering island, one of five that are set in a man-made lake. Beyond is the "crown roast" atop Ford's exhibit.

- MONORAIL
WHAT'S A FAIR without rides? Pretty bad, you say, especially if you're a kid or a kid at heart. But this Fair is okay; there are plenty and one of the best is the Monorail. It affords riders a panoramic view of the Lake Amusement Area around which it loops. Built by American Machine & Foundry (AMF), Monorail has seven two-car trains operating on parallel loops slung 40 feet above the ground from single rails. Three trains travel in one direction and four in the other.

A COUPLE OF SPOTS bound to cheer the heart and brace the lagging spirits of the fairgoer - especially one familiar with the old world of Western Europe - are today's Scrapbook entries. Picturesque Belgian village, which stood idle so long awaiting completion, is open and fast catching on with visitors.
