Pay attention, they discuss a motor drive for a Graflex. http://books.google.com/books?id=SiEDAAAAMBAJ&pg=RA3-PA213&lpg=RA3-PA213&dq=graflex+%22big+bertha%22&source=bl&ots=_VcMhKgMjf&sig=N2OK-7ZgsY-6QKRmttDCfDqa0tU&hl=en&ei=9brNSpLIGMfR8Aa4yID5Aw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=37#v=onepage&q=graflex%20%22big%20bertha%22&f=false |

There were a few small bon fires set in big intersections and I'm sure there was some minor damage to the streets but that's about it. The city estimated about 10,000 pounds of confetti had to be cleaned up. I wish all the world could party this peacefully. |

A: Radio has better pictures. Of course, this was in the good old days when radio drama was a regular daily feature. Don't get me started on radio today.... |
