GDG- Electric Map

[jlawrence at kc.rr.com]

The Electric Map is not a physical thing. It is a bunch of wires strung under the floor joists that gpo through holes in the floor of the room above.

The room was designed especially as a theater for the map show.

You would have to chain saw it out, disconnect the wiring, hoist it through the roof (removed) and reinstall it in another building, designed for the purpose.

To preserve it would be a costly act of vanity by a someone or something with significant financial assets.

It can be done better today with a power point (and is).

Not everything is worth preserving, as my body tells me every day.

Regards,

Jack
