Show THE SKY RIDE. "BIG THRU L" OF 1933 WORLD'S FAIR w I - ' " v . ... , I l A acA- ' slV ' k , ; 1 L y- lfeCn-4i ad jMfaa . - - Two great steel towers each 625 feet high are already mounting to the skies as work progresses on the spectacular feature of Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition, the Sky Ride. As this drawing shows, the towers, 1,850 feet apart, will be connected by cables at the 200-foot level. Over these cables rocket cars will carry passengers. From observation platforms plat-forms atop the towers the visitor will be able to see Chicago and its surrounding area in all directions, south to the dunes of Indiana, and east across the blue lake to Michigan. High speed elevators will lift visitors to the rocket cars and to the observation platforms. One tower is being erected on the mainland north of the Hall of Science, the other on Northerly Island, north of Social Science Hall. |
