Inman Railroad Yard, Atlanta Georgia.


Control room at Telstar Earth Station, Andover, Maine, circa 1962. Its huge rotating horn antenna, beneath a 160’ high inflated dome, teamed with its counterpart in France, providing the first experimental satellite telephone and television service between North America and Europe. The station was also used with the Relay 1 comms satellite. The giant antenna was dismantled in the mid 1980s





The mouth of the typical politician.
Actually it is what the inside of the mouth of a leatherback sea turtle looks like.


Here is a 1940s real photo postcard of the "Top-Of-The-World, N.M, Elv. 7,263 ft." "Great Divide Trading" Post, "Cabins, & Cafe," and the "Great Divide Navajo Indian Trading Post" gas station on the Continental Divide in New Mexico on old Route 66. The Route 66 travelers loved these trading posts.
The Great Continental Divide extends from Alaska through the Western United States down south through Mexico. From this divide, the water (streams) run either east or west to the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean. This was on Route 66 just about 115 miles west of Albuquerque and 30 miles east of Gallup, New Mexico.
This postcard is courtesy of Jim Coad and 66postcards.
