We had similar dome in Sunnyvale (Ca) until the late 80's, but I can't remember who owned it, maybe GE?; it's all housing now.

Somewhere I have photos I took looking down at that white speck in the distance. On one of my hiking trips I stopped to check out the facility. The Dacron fabric dome that was held up only by air pressure (like a carnival funhouse) was still standing but was scheduled to be taken down in the near future. Below is a link to a video about Telstar that appeared on the History Channel and another link to still photos of the horn and the inside of the dome. The date given for removal in the second link was 1985 but I was thinking the dome was removed a few years later than that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyfGuSmSHWM http://users658.mainememory.net/slideshow/386/display%3Fformat=list&prev_object_id=1050&prev_object=page&slide_num=1.html -Arthur _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
