Fw: [Jukebox-list] What did you do during the war, Unca J.P.?

[Ron Rich]

Hi Bob, and All,
Way cool thanks--One time in the late '60s'-early 70's when I was wondering around the factory, I went into the "old" unused section of the "old" building, with someone, looking for something ?. They still had THE "spider room" there. It was spooky to see the area they built just to grow/contain black widow spiders. The spider web was the only thing they could come up with as "cross-hairs" for the Norton bomb sight. I was told that the web would stay straight under all conditions of weather, and altitude. They attempted all through the war to find a substitute, but never did.  Ron Rich

For those who may not have seen the WWII efforts of the Seeburg Corp., there
are a couple nice photos of their bomb-dropping gear at the Antique Radios

Scroll down to the fourteenth post in the chat.  I'm not sure if you have to
register to view photos, though.
