THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER
.' PAGE TOUR (Second Section)
After The Show Is Over;
Comes The Huge Task Of
Tearing Down The Rides
The clean-up man wiped his
perspiring brow as the pile of lorn
tickets, popcorn bugs and pop bot
tles grew larger. He was clean
ing the lot where just a tew hours
before a milling throng of 'hun
dreds of joy-seekers had whirled
and twisted around on the six
rides on t lie high school grounds,
as part of the annual Fourth of
July celebration
Groups of small boys kicked
about in the shavings on the lot
hoping to uncover a lost coin, but
the excitement, the color, the mu
sic ami the bright lights had
moved on to Canton for a week s
t ho wing, and the stadium parking
lot and auxiliary athletic field was
about hack to normal, except fur
the trampled grass
A traveling unit uf rules i de
signed for ijuick assembly, uuck
dismantling and during rush
hours., for a quick turn-oer of
customers. In other words, the
keynote of the traveling unit of
rides is "Be tjuick."
The companj who owned the -i
rides which showed here a week
;.rior '.o the Fourth of July, began
tearing down their equipment be
fore the last customer- had lin
ished then- ride here Monday
night. Within an hour alter ihe
once-bnghlly-lighled lield. with
its nulling throngs hail parted, the
huge rules looked like 1 uis.ikeii
steel skeletons ;igaiiil the d.u k
skie-.
Huge trailer u uck backed up
to each rule and hi each Kink
there was a phiee lm eci pu-ee
from the iide. no matter Imw
small Kach ol the ihl hinges tinin
the men -go-i nund had its own
padded traveling blanket and was
carefully buckled in it Kach seat
from the terns wheel had a place
on the wall of a huge truck and
thousands ol light globes had a
place in one ol the scoral huge
wooden cases
Some of the equipment units
weighed tons, but special tracks
and sleel cables fastened to truck
winches pulled the heavy load in
side ihe trucks for transporting
to Canton, the next stop.
The Koll-O-I'lane. which had
thrilled more spectators than rid
ers, was taken down almost intact
The huge giant iron center pule
bolted together near the base,
just toppled over irlo a truik with
lights still burning The pole
even had built-in rollers to make
handling easy and simple
The tops ol the ticket cages
i. were turned oVer on their side
and the four sides nf lights pro
vided workmen with necessary
light to dismantle all the units.
To the average mechanic, the
marvel of the whole thing was the
lark of holts The steel parts
snap together or fit in snug slots.
but once put together provide a
substantial structure.
Tile merry-go-round is entirely
suspended from the top. as there
is no means of support from un
derneath the floor. That calls for
perfect balance and leveling. The
braces and supports that hold up
the weight of the equipment, to
gether with the weight of a full
load of some 40 people, rests on
carefulh tilted timbers notched to
gether. The huge mirrors are
hung mi hooks i nd one iron
stake driven into the ground keeps
the engine from slipping towards
the gear as the belt steadily pulls
the mechanism.
Surprisingly enough, the ferris
wheel call he dismantled as quick
ly as the simple looking swings.
The hitter is one of the few rid
ing units unit is tabricated with
bolls
The whole system is one massive
jig-saw pu,:lo of brightly painted
steel, wood, lights and portable
fences Kvery piece tits in just
one paitieular spot, and out of
place, is useless and makes the
ride .III-! as useless.
