WESTINGHOUSE

A gleaming torpedo-shaped Time Capsule, suspended by stainless steel wires over a reflecting pool, is the heart of this exhibit. Packed with artifacts of our times and accounts of the eventful history of our days since 1938, it will be deposited in a 50-foot tube and buried in tar and concrete on the next-to-last day of the Fair, there to remain as a message to the future 5,000 years hence. Ten feet south of this tube is Westinghouse's first Time Capsule, containing a report on civilization as it stood prior to the 1939 World's Fair. Three open-sided circular pavilions in the area are each devoted to a different epoch in time.

The three discs of the Westinghouse pavilion are seen next to the Alaska pavilion in this shot from the New York State observation tower. (CD9 Set 40 #9)
This marker for the time capsules is still visible in Flushing Meadows Corona Park today. (CD2 Set 11 #2)
