		<description><![CDATA[The PanAm Yankee Clipper (B-314) was built by Boeing on the base of an XB-15 bomber fuselage.  On December 21, 1937, Boeing delivered the first Yankee Clipper to PanAm. The Yankee Clipper was the result of over 6,000 engineering drawings, 50,000 parts, and one-million rivets.  But with such complexity came problems.  First, it was the spark plugs.  Then Boeing discovered that when the plane was loaded light, it was no match for the admittedly weak winds blowing across South Lake Washington (Seattle, WA). And when the test pilots got the B-314 up in the air, then had yet another problem.  As pilot Eddie Allen succinctly put it, &#8220;The plane won&#8217;t turn.&#8221; But Boeing ironed out these wrinkles and eventually the Yankee Clipper became a graceful, reliable craft.  Each Clipper cost $668,908; needed 3,200 of clear waterway to take off; and weighed 84,000 pounds gross. Boeing eventually stamped out six of these Clippers for PanAm.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And king of practically all other areas of commercial illustration through the 1930s-1960s, it seems. Soltesz&#8217; life is told in detail by his son, Ken Soltesz (Frank Soltesz:  Biography of a Commercial Illustrator).  If you can somehow define the &#8220;look&#8221; of commercial illustration during that great mid-century period in the United States, that look was defined by Frank Soltesz.  He infused &#8220;mere&#8221; commercial illustration with grace, precision, mood, and authentic artistic talent. Ken Soltesz tells many great anecdotes about his father, including this one that I found particularly touching. I remember as a boy going out through the backyard to visit daddy in his studio. He would let me sit quietly and watch him, and he would sometimes try to explain to me the types of paints and brushes he used. On a few occasions, he would sit me on his lap, load the brush with paint, and let me paint a few small strokes on the job he was working on. Then when the picture appeared in a magazine a few months later, he would show it to me and say “Look what we did”. Frank Soltesz: From Penna. to Mad Avenue As Ken Soltesz recounts, Frank Soltesz was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yet another mind-blowing cutaway from master illustrator Frank Soltesz. Few people realize that half of a department store is devoted to areas they never see.  Behind the familiar counter and displays are large areas used for stockrooms and other services that supply the selling floors out front.  there is a fur vault, complete bake shop, huge kitchen, and a variety of workrooms.  Each one is a little business in itself, and many of them need a lot of heat and cold in order to operate.  To control all this heat and cold, they use insulations, the kind of insulations made and installed by the Armstrong Cork Company. This illustration comes from a Saturday Evening Post from the 1950s, and has a key so that readers can find out what each room does: That&#8217;s why you&#8217;ll find such a large machine room (1) down in the basement.  Here boilers make steam, and compressors cool a refrigerant.  Both the steam and the refrigerant are sent to the rooftop penthouse (2) to heat or cool air which is then blown all through the store in a network of ducts. Everything about Soltesz cutaways is pitch-perfect.  Mood, shadows, people: all the things that many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love this kind of house cutaway.  Unlike one of our hotel cutaways that had the front end removed, this type of building cutaway has the roof popped off.  Almost as if a giant lifted it off and left everything else intact. This great cutaway comes from the October 1956 Popular Mechanics&#8211;always an abundant source of cutaway drawings&#8211;and has plans, detailed interior views, and descriptions.  As they say: Cutaway of completely furnished PM [Popular Mechanics] Big-Family House gives an over-all view of its livability.  The front part of the house&#8211;living room, family room and kitchen, and the parents&#8217; bedroom with bath just across the hall&#8211;is &#8220;adult territory.&#8221;  The rear section with three bedrooms and bath opening on a playroom is the children&#8217;s section.  Folding walls of two of the bedrooms can be pushed back for more play and living space during the day.  The rear patio is accessible both from ktichen and playroom.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Video Script The Hindenburg&#8216;s &#8220;A&#8221; deck was the place where most everything happened&#8211;eating, dining, sleeping, lounging, sightseeing. Dining Area As we walk up the stairs from the &#8220;B&#8221; Deck, we go towards the Dining Area.  There were only a few tables in the Dining area, and meals were served in shifts, much on a train.  But you&#8217;ll notice the generous spacing between the tables. And that&#8217;s something you find a lot on the Hindenburg:  lots of open space. Promenade On the other side of a low wall was the promenade&#8211;for sitting or leaning against the rail to watch the Atlantic Ocean pass far below. Lounge Area On the other side of the &#8220;A&#8221; Deck&#8211;separated by the passenger cabins&#8211;was a similar space, but it had a different purpose.  This was the Lounge area with another large open space and aluminum chairs and tables.  The piano was largely aluminum and pigskin and weighed around 400 pounds. Reading/Writing Room For a little private time, there was a Reading/Writing room in back.  Passengers could browse the small collection of books or write letters or postcards at the small writing desks. Passenger Cabins Finally, at night there were 25 passenger cabins with bunks that could [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the great things about the old Fortune magazine was how it often treated extremely mundane subjects with great wonder and awe.  Not only would they profile the high-level anticts of John D. Rockefeller, William Randolph Hearst, and Henry Ford, but they would take things down to the opposite end of the spectrum and highlight things like the inner workings of an oil well in one of Rockefeller&#8217;s fields or the daily routine of one of Hearst&#8217;s low-level stringers. This office building cutaway actually calls itself an &#8220;X-ray&#8221; of an air conditioning system, and I am not completely certain of its original source in Fortune.  I&#8217;d guess that it came with some kind of profile of a giant, national air conditioning company, perhaps Carrier. Not at all the loving detail of the American Standard advertisement I blogged about previously, but interesting nonetheless.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the best, and cheapest, books that I have ever had about the Hindenburg is called Hindenburg: an Illustrated History, by Rick Archbold, with paintings by Ken Marschall. The art is too beautiful to even talk about in this space. But because one interest of Invisible Themepark is cutaways, let&#8217;s look at one cutaway of the “A” Deck of the Hindenburg. The Hindenburg&#8217;s Cabins On the “A” Deck were 25 passenger cabins that had two beds apiece, in bunk-like fashion. The walls between the cabins were fairly thin, just foam and a layer of fabric. The cabins could be quite noisy if you had a loud tenant in the adjoining room. Unlike the outer cabins in a cruise ship, none of these cabins in the Hindenburg had windows. The cabins were not a space where you spent a lot of time. Most time was spent in the more spacious public rooms. Public Spaces:  Promenade, Dining, Lounge, and Reading Room On either side of the “A” Deck were promenades where passengers could sit or stand while looking out at the angled windows to the ground or clouds moving below. On one side was the large six-table dining room, hardly the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A great airplane cutaway from Fortune Magazine 1936 (Large Size Image): The revolutionary fact about the Martin is that more than half of its gross weight of 51,000 pounds is useful load, instead of about a third, which has hitherto been the limit.  In flying across an ocean useful load is the decisive factor, not only because vast quantities of fuel must be carried, but also because the requisite equipment is more elaborate than the equipment of land planes.  The Martin carries such things as an anchor and winch, lifeboat and belts, boat hook, bilge pump, and ropes, besides all the regular aeronautical equipment such as two radios, fire extinguishers, flares, and flying instruments.  In addition there is a galley complete with icebox, grill, sink, and dishes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Titan II Missile Underground Launch Complex (Large Image) is classic Cold War-era cutaway stuff.  At the Titan Missile Museum in Arizona, you can tour the entire facility.  As their brochure states: The Titan II Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) was the first liquid propellant missile that could be launched from underground. Equipped with a nine-megaton thermonuclear warhead, the Titan II was capable of reaching its target—more than half a world away—in less than thirty minutes. The preserved Titan II missile site, officially known as complex 571-7, was completed and turned over to the U.S. Air Force in 1963. Until 1987, when the last Titan II was deactivated, 54 Titan II missile complexes across the United States stood “on alert” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A cutaway from Fortune Magazine (1960) is a bit more artful and fanciful, and looks more like the cover of a sci-fi paperback than a true cutaway:]]></description>
