PIEDMONITOR VOLUME 6 - NO. 8 PUBLISHED AND PRINTED BY PIEDMONT AVIATION, INC. AUGUST 1954 CHARLOTTE QUEEN CITY OF THE SOUTH ■ fe ENTRANCE - CHARLOTTE AIR TERMINAL On the east bank of the Catawba River stands North Carolina's largest city - Charlotte. With its population of over 150,000, Charlotte has developed into a major distribution and retail center, and is still growing. Current pride of Charlotteans is their magnificent new air terminal at Douglas Field. Long needed, the new brick and glass struc ture replaces the ramshackle old frame terminal, a relic of World War II. The terminal has been designed to provide every modern convenience to the passengers and to the people serving them. It is fully air conditioned, with two fine dining rooms. The Coffee Shopon the main floor offers fast service of good food around the clock, while the Dogwood Room on the mezzanine accommodates more leisurely diners. A stainless steel and terrazzo open staircase leads to the second floor, which houses CAA offices, airport executive offices and a beautiful observation deck. On the technical side, there is a complete interphone dial telephone system which eliminates tying up outside lines for interoffice calls. Each office has a unique clock controlled by radio from a master clock in Washington, accurate to 1/5 of a second. Offices are spacious, providing plenty of room for future expansion. Of course, words cannot do justice to the beauty and efficiency of the new building, so why not go and see for yourselfl -1-
