just a thought on “propose 3 locations for coded PNs” perhaps the PN stands for phone numbers. there’s three phone locations on Wallace’s map and we have four telephone codes on the tam table top…

Does that last bullet on the list refer to the Midget Autopia statue we already visited? Or is it something else?

Hey there, everyone! I just checked out the Micechat website. Bob Gurr writes articles here. Today it is on 1959, The Golden Age of Air Travel. I don’t think there is anything to help us, but quite a coincidence. http://micechat.com/36521-design-those-were-the-times-no-14-1959-modern-air-travel/

my theory – Auto Apparatus may be “Flight to the Moon” and Signal Flag may be “submarine voyage (20,000 Leagues)”.

i looked at this blueprint closely and it’s for “Fantasyland Expansion” project, which was different from the “Tomorrowland” project – which explains why the difference in scales. Also upon reading the detail box, i’m thinking “Signal Flag” had to do with the submarines (20,000 Leagues ride).

Well, this confirms that this tech was being developed and had been installed by 1959. It seems that by the NYWF64, this stuff had been secretly installed and implemented. more than likely they were showcasing it for VIPs

So, just putting this in perspective….Amelia, your Grandfather wrote “Orbit’s Story” sometime prior to 1952. In 1952, he was contacted by Disney in an attempt to option that story. Following that he was brought “into the fold” at Disney (probably WED) and appears to be heavily involved in the 1959 redo of Tomorrowland at Disneyland. He is also somewhat involved in the Disney efforts at the 1964 World’s Fair. That’s at least 12 years of working with the Disney people…including Walt himself (not to mention Nixion!).

That is quite a legacy that you have uncovered. This is not just a writer who wrote one story that got optioned by Disney…He was a high level imagineer, working closely with Walt himslef.
