World Fairs

We begin in Lima Peru at the World's Fair of the 1870's. Next we examine melted snow and geology. Finally we discuss Musk and his new projects. I hope you enjoy ;) The Lima International Exhibition (Exposicion Internacional de 1872) was held in the Park of the Exposition, Lima, in 1872 to attract foreign investment, demonstrate Peru's progress and to mark fifty years since Peru's independence. The Peruvian president José Balta had ordered the demolition of the Walls of Lima in 1870 and the establishment of the Park of the Exposition to host the exhibition. The park was designed by Manuel Atanasio Fuentes and Antonio Leonardi and opened on 1 July 1872. During the fair there was a botanic garden, a Chinese pavilion and displays of modern machinery and of pre-Columbian art. And still remaining in the park in 2017 there are a Byzantine and Moroccan pavilion and a fountain of Neptune. There was also a Huaca, a Chinese pavilion, a dovecote, a lake with swans and a large clock. The clock, 'The great clock of Lima', designed by Pedro Ruiz Gallo was installed in a tower and as well as the time had six dials showing century date, year, month, week, day and phases of the moon, incorporated an organ and a 3x1 mitre oblong to show a different historical picture every 25 hours. The British firms Ransomes, Sims and Head (Ipswich) exhibited agricultural machinery, Ruston, Proctor and Company a road engine, Bailey and Company fire pumps and pyrometers and Barrow Hematite Steel Company showed steel and iron works. THE GREAT CLOCK The Great Clock of Lima also known as the Pedro Ruiz Gallo clock after its inventor, was a monumental clock created by Pedro Ruiz Gallo, and which was installed in the Parque de la Exposición in 1870 for the celebration of the Exhibition of 1872. The watch disappeared during the occupation of Lima by the Chilean Army in the War of the Pacific. After the Spanish-South American War, colonel and inventor Pedro Ruiz Gallo was able to dedicate himself entirely to the ambitious project of building a great clock for the Peruvian capital, which he achieved under the patronage of then-President José Balta, who appointed him attached to the General Staff and financed his work. To carry out the mechanism, he obtained a budget of S/.31,000 from the Peruvian State, to which he added some S/.10,000 from his own pocket. Despite the opposition and criticism that his work received, after 6 years of work he was able to inaugurate his mechanical work on December 6, 1870, at 00:00, a few days before the anniversary of the Battle of Ayacucho was celebrated, before the admiration of the public gathered in the gardens in front of the Palacio de la Exposición. The clock was one of the main attractions of the International Exhibition of 1872 held in Lima, where various representative objects of the Andean country were exhibited, as well as machinery that indicated the Peruvian progress generated from the economic boom for the export of guano. It remained at the Palace of the Exhibition, which served as its location for ten years, until the War of the Pacific led to the occupation of Lima in 1881. The clock was exposed in the park for about 10 years. During the occupation of Lima by the Chilean Army, various facilities such as the Universidad Mayor de San Marcos, the National Library or the Palacio de la Exposición were used as barracks by the invading troops. One of the theories about the fate of the watch suggests that after being disassembled it was taken as war booty by order of Patricio Lynch, however once in Chile it could not be put into operation. According to Jorge Basadre, its inventor removed essential parts of the mechanism to render it useless so that the enemy could not rebuild it once it was transferred to Santiago de Chile.

Today we will showcase the last roughly 150 unique images I have accumulated of The Louisiana Purchase Expo in St Louis, Missouri. These photographs were all taken in 1904 during the Expo, and I believe them to be both rare, and overall revealing, to the questionable nature which we have been presented with. We will also briefly discuss the current narrative, although this will be my second effort at recording the audio for this video. I’ve decided to leave my opinion, and this video, more open ended. I want you to be able to interpret these photographs on your own, and to deduce your own conclusions. LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, also known as the St. Louis World's Fair, was a monumental event held in St. Louis, Missouri, from April 30 to December 1, 1904. It was organized to celebrate the centennial of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase and showcased advancements in technology, agriculture, art, and history. IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT THE EXPOSITION Location: The fair took place in Forest Park and the Washington University in St. Louis campus, covering an area of 1,270 acres. Participation: The exposition featured exhibits from 62 countries** and 43 of the then-45 American states. Architecture: The fair's Greco-Roman architectural style influenced the design of new buildings and city master plans. Innovations: It introduced the public to new inventions like private automobiles, outdoor electric lighting, and the X-ray machine. Anthropological Exhibits: The fair included anthropological displays, which by today's standards are considered controversial, involving people from various cultures presented in re-creations of their environments. Legacy: While most of the fair's structures were demolished shortly after its closure, it left a lasting impact on popular culture and the intellectual community. The exposition was also notable for coinciding with the 1904 Olympic Games, adding to its historical significance. It was a showcase of America's burgeoning role as a global power and a celebration of progress and innovation at the turn of the century. SOURCE Jarid Boosters

Howdy ya’ll. Today we will look at the entirety of William Henry Jackson’s collection of “White City” photographs; images by the famed photographer taken during the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. - Deemed the “White City” due to the white temporary facades of the buildings, Jackson’s collection spans a bulk of the Columbia Exposition, many photographs which I have never seen displayed anywhere else before. These images may reveal new details, and lead to new ideas and understanding of the intricacies of The 1893 World’s Fair. We will also briefly discuss the life and travels of William Henry Jackson. - As we look through the photographs, I will dive briefly into some of the currently accepted facts of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, including the fact that nearly every building was constructed to be temporary. We will get into all this history, some highly detailed never before seen images, and much more! Enjoy, and help the channel grow by sharing the video - thank you for watching. - SOURCE Jarid Boosters - World's Columbian Exposition Photos - https://www.wikiwand.com/en/World%27s_Columbian_Exposition

Short video where I share photos I had stored of smaller expositions between 1860-1910. This is just to show how widespread they were, the amount of building going on everywhere, and just how much destruction was taking place- because generally as soon as what are you are looking at was finished they were torn down, dynamited, burned down or destroyed. - This is just a preview of what will be talked about in the 2 hours Monday on crrow777 radio, we go into a lot of detail on these fairs that I didn't put into my book. - SOURCE Howdie Mickoski

Columbia Exposition a/k/a The Chicago World's Fair-Why were all traces destroyed after 6 months? The Chicago World's Fair also known as the World's Columbian Exposition had been coveted by both Westinghouse with Tesla's AC system and Thomas Edison with his DC system. Hard work, perseverance and extreme confidence from both parties turned the competition into quite a blazing fire of the minds. But it was Nikola Tesla with his novel AC Current Distribution that won over Edison's. Westinghouse and Tesla got the contract to light up the fair... which put an end to "The War of the Currents" between Tesla and Edison. Nikola Tesla AC Motor (1883): Tesla carried detailed plans for this AC motor in his head (a particular talent of his) until he could build a physical model the next year. The alternating current created magnetic poles that reversed themselves without mechanical aid, as DC motors required, and caused an armature (the revolving part of any electromechanical device) to whirl around the motor. This was his rotating magnetic field put into practice as a motor; within two years, he would use it in AC generators and transformers as well. The Columbian Exposition opened on May 1, 1893. That evening, President Grover Cleveland pushed a button and a hundred thousand incandescent lamps illuminated the fairground's neoclassical buildings. This "City of Light" was the work of Tesla, Westinghouse and twelve new thousand-horsepower AC generation units located in the Hall of Machinery. In the Great Hall of Electricity, the Tesla polyphase system of alternating current power generation and transmission was proudly displayed. For the twenty-seven million people who attended the fair, it was dramatically clear that the power of the future was AC. From that point forward more than 80 percent of all the electrical devices ordered in the United States were for alternating current.

One Fantastical 1889 World's Fair in Paris Headlining Astounding Tech & Science | Edison, Otis elevators, Telephones, Electricity, Military tech, Navigation, The Eiffel Tower, Pre-fabricated metal housing... The Universal Exposition of 1889 (Exposition Universelle de 1889) was a highly successful international exhibition and one of the few world's fairs to make a profit. Its central attraction was the Eiffel Tower, a 300-meter high marvel of iron by Gustave Eiffel. Over eighty other structures on the Champ de Mars housed exhibits, including the impressive 1,452 foot long Galerie des Machines by Ferdinand Dutert. The fair attracted exhibits from Europe, South America, the United States, and the French colonies, yet in the final analysis it was a celebration of French achievements on the centennial of the French Revolution. Photographs in the Prints and Photographs Division document many of the achievements in architecture, the fine arts, and new technology that the exposition was designed to highlight. 1889 PARIS EXPOSITION The Exposition Universelle of 1889, better known in English as the 1889 Paris Exposition, was a world's fair held in Paris, France, from 5 May to 31 October 1889. It was the fifth of ten major expositions held in the city between 1855 and 1937. It attracted more than thirty-two million visitors. The most famous structure created for the exposition, and still remaining, is the Eiffel Tower. The exposition was held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille, which marked the beginning of French Revolution, and was also seen as a way to stimulate the economy and pull France out of an economic recession. The exposition attracted 61,722 official exhibitors, of whom twenty-five thousand were from outside of France. Admission to the exposition cost forty centimes, at a time when the price of an "economy" plate of meat and vegetables in a Paris cafe was ten centimes. Visitors paid an additional price for several of the exposition's most popular attractions. Climbing the Eiffel Tower cost five Francs; admission to the popular panoramas, theaters and concerts was one franc. Visitors from the French provinces could buy a ticket which included the train fare and entry into the exposition. The total cost of exposition was 41,500,000 francs, while income was 49,500,000 francs. It was the last of the Paris world's fairs to make a profit. THE EIFFEL TOWER The Eiffel Tower, built especially for the exposition, was the tallest structure in the world at the time. A competition to build what was simply called "A tower of three hundred meters" with a base one hundred meters wide, was announced in 1886. It was won by the construction firm of Gustave Eiffel, which had recently built the iron frame of the Statue of Liberty. The Eiffel firm had advance knowledge of the project and, beginning in 1884, had already designed a tower exactly to those dimensions. The structural design was created by two Eiffel engineers, Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier, who along with Eiffel himself, received the patent for the plan. An Eiffel architect, Stephen Sauvestre, designed the curving form and decoration which gave the tower its distinctive appearance. Eiffel was granted exclusive rights for twenty years to operate the tower and its restaurants and viewing platforms. A site next to the River was chosen, despite the infiltration of river water, since that land was owned by the City of Paris, and the tower could be kept in place after the exposition was completed. The construction lasted two years, two months and five days, and involved five hundred workers, who assembled eighteen thousand iron pieces, each of five meters and carefully numbered, which had been made at a factory in Levallois-Perret, a Paris suburb. Speaking of the tower construction workers, the son-in-law of Eiffel, declared, "no soldier on the battle field deserved better mention than these humble toilers, who, will never go down in history." During the exposition, no one other than construction personnel were allowed higher than the second viewing platform. THE GALLERY OF MACHINES A second monumental building on the site was the Galerie des machines, by the architect Ferdinand Dutert and engineer Victor Contamin, which had originally been built for the 1878 Universal Exposition. It was a huge iron and glass structure which contained the industrial displays. It occupied the entire width of the exposition site, the land between the avenue de la Bourdonnais and the present avenue de Suffren, and covered 77,000 square meters, with 34,700 square meters of glass windows. At 111 meters, the Gallery covered the longest interior space in the world at the time, It cost 7,430,000 Francs, or seven times the cost of the Eiffel Tower. It was later used again at the 1900 Universal Exposition and then destroyed in 1910. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY One important goal of the exposition was to present the latest in science and technology. Thomas Edison visited the exposition to visit a pavilion devoted to his recent inventions, including an improved phonograph with clearer sound quality. Another new technology that was promoted at the exposition was the safety elevator, developed by a new American company, Otis Elevator. Otis built the elevators carrying passengers up the legs of the Eiffel Tower to the first level. When journalists expressed concern about the safety of the elevators, Otis technicians filled one elevator with three thousand kilograms of lead, simulating passengers, and then, with journalists from around the world watching, cut the cable with an axe. The elevator's fall was halted ten feet above the ground by the Otis safety brakes. There were pavilions especially devoted to the telephone and to electricity, and others devoted to maritime navigation, and another, the Palais de Guerre or Palace of War, to developments in military technology, such as naval artillery. Prefabricated metal housing was another technology that appeared at the exposition. Gustave Eiffel developed a series of houses with roof and walls of galvanized steel, and wooden interiors, which could be rapidly put together or taken apart, largely for use in French colony of Indochina. Some of them served as ticket booths at the 1889 exposition; one of these old booths, now used as a shelter for hikers, can now be found in the Forest of Dampierre. MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT The Barnum and Bailey Circus performed during the exposition in the Salle des Fetes of the Palais des Machines. Outside the exposition, other theatres and venues presented a range of spectacles including Buffalo Bill Cody and his Wild West Show, with the sharpshooter Annie Oakley. SOURCE Lucius Aurelian
