Description: Title:The Tower Of LightDescription:The spectacular Tower of Light, the Electric Power and Light Companies pavilion, features a 12 billion candle power welcome light that can be seen for miles in every direction. It is the greatest concentration of exposition lighting in the world - brighter than 50 illuminated Yankee Stadiums or 340,000 automobile headlights. At night, the hundreds of aluminum panels are bathed in ever-changing colored lights, while during the day, the building reflects the sun's rays with a magic irridescence. Inside, visitors ride a revolving "magic carpet" through "The Brightest Show on Earth," a light hearted musical using three dimensional animated figures, dramatic lighting effects, music, dialogue and motion pictures to tell the story of the (investor owned) electric utility industry.Type/Era:Postcard, ChromeSize (approx.):3.5" x 5.75" (9 x 15 cm)Categories:More Topics/Exposition/1964 NY Worlds FairCardcow id: 151686, /images/set204/card00265View our other listings!FREE SHIPPING (US addresses) for this cardWe ship all cards in clear archival-quality, pvc-free, acid-free sleeves.Frequently Asked Questions How quickly do orders ship?
