Abstract :
Electrical Features of Ford Exhibit at Chicago Fair. One hundred miles of electric wiring, more than 225 electric motors, a lighting display which includes a battery of 9,000 concealed floodlights, an amplifying system containing more than 750 loudspeakers this is only part of the electrical installation for the Ford Exposition Building at the 1934 World´s Fair in Chicago. The huge Ford project, covering over 11 acres, will require a load of 6,000 kilowatts, or more than a third of the total electric capacity of the entire Fair in 1933. The exhibits will show in actual operation practically all of the steps required in Ford manufacturing, from the raw materials to the finished parts of cars.
