It had projectors in pairs one show with 4 screens one show with 3. Slides mounted in glass and created by me. An electronic board was made to order to operate the slideshow with a stretch screen which came down over a big band and behind singers and dancers. I worked 10 hour days seven days a week but only 10 minutes out of every hour. So there's not much I don't know about amusement parks. Finally I got sick falling off a catwalk with blood poisoning from an impacted tooth so I had to write out a score so someone else could run the show and I could get a laundry day. 1974 Silicon spray helps when the slides start to stick.
