Additional Details:
The Bell System exhibit is located on a 2½ acre site on the Pool of Industry opposite the Unisphere. Its gleaming white upper section - a 400 foot long floating wing that stands 24 feet above the ground - houses an exciting ride, which tells the story of human communications. Moving chairs - equipped with loudspeakers - take fair-goers through a series of theaters that combine three-dimensional settings, motion pictures and still projections. During the 12-minute trip, the passengers see communications expand from primitive drum signaling to the operation of global and space networks. Animated displays, demonstrations and visitor-participation exhibits in the lower section of the pavilion explain the evolution of communications systems, and the science and technology on which they depend.
