Were those jack in the box clown heads inflated or pulled up from the rigging? Chic?

The heads were UHMW polyethelene

They were pullups on chain motors

Electrification was from the box

Many hoops in a long sleeve wired

with tiny lamps long before LEDs

Dave King at the organ lower right

Centered is the crown like header

that floated high above the stepped

central platform for the "Mr Clown"

tribute to Lou Jacobs

"UHMW" Ultra High Molecular Weight

The very strongest polyethelene

Most of our many mirrored balls

were made on these rotocast spheres

Not the big tiger balls for Charly

Those frames were of fiberglass

We. use uhmw on the baggage conveyors as rub pads to push the bags off the sidewalls. Neat stuff
