1939 Worlds Fair GE Exhibits
Original poster: "C. Sibley" <a37chevy@xxxxxxxxx>
I came across the following searching for information regarding a 
Tesla coil my Dad says he saw at the 1939 world fair.  I didn't find 
the Tesla coil, but found what looks like a jacob's ladder with 
rotating electrodes.  Not specifically Tesla related, but thought the 
group would enjoy:

It's a fascinating display, looks like it might be three phases 
arcing together?  No sure what to make of it.
If anyone has any detail of a Dr. Moon at the fair, please let me 
know.  Apparently he would stand on the top of his coil and let the 
streamers come from his fingers.
