Artist's sketch of the 200-foot Perisphere within which visitors to the New York World's Fair of 1939 will view, from a revolving platform suspended in mid-air, a dramatization of the World of Tomorrow. Clusters of fountains will screen the piers supporting the Sphere so that the great ball will appear to be poised on jets of water. The 700-foot triangular Trylon at the left--a unique architectural form--will serve as a Fair beacon and broadcasting tower
