- Motion engineering is the theme expressed under the SKF parasol, a circular roof which soars to an 82-foot needle at its apex. SKF Industries, Inc., the American affiliate of a worldwide complex of ball and roller bearing manufacturers, uses an illustrated lecture and an exhibit of finished products to show how it helps keep the machines of civilization running.
- * Admission: free.
- Highlights
-
- SOUND AND LIGHT. In a 70-seat theater to the right of the main entrance, brilliantly lit stylized images illustrate a six-minute sound track tracing the history of motion engineering and roller bearings. The continuous show starts with the wheel and ends with rockets.
- MATTER IN MOTION. Beside the theater is a display of objects that use bearings from a kitchen mixer to a truck axle, cut away to disclose their mechanical interiors. Another display area demonstrates some of the industry's production problems and how they are solved.
