    Radio City Music Hall Stage Cutaway

    Fantastic cutaway of New York’s Radio City Music Hall stage in 1950, showing the 57 foot pistons that operate the three stage elevators.  This allowed the Rockettes to perform on three different levels.

  • Radio City Music Hall Cutaway, 1930

    When this cutaway first appeared, the intended structure was still called the International Music Hall, as part of Rockefeller Center, New York, NY.  Later, it became known as Radio City Music Hall.

    Quite a juicy early Thirties two-color cutaway spread across two pages.  I tried my best to mate the two pages, and I got the top and bottom fine but the middle doesn’t meet up very well.

    This is one cutaway that really needs to be seen in its full, blown-up grandeur, below.
