Looks like Chic's Shop, 40 years ago.

This 40" internally motorized

dainty number was built for

Hubert Castle along with the

fitted packing crate for it

The half round on the stool

was for some animal act prop

I've built them from 2 to 60

inches in diameter & almost

created a 7 foot 6 incher

but when we discovered what

the mirror weight would have

been aside from the sturdy

frame we scrapped the plan

You'll be glad to know Jim

it doesn't look any different

to this very day (43rd year)

During my school years I never

thought I would ever need math

equations in my future workings

It was when I started with these

spherical devices that I had to

go research the formula for the

surface area of a sphere (ball)

We didn't have computer search

capabilities in those dark ages

(simple answer is 4 Pi R Square)
