carousel hangars

Found a few pics in my archives from when I went out there and so I uploaded them to Photobucket so folks can get a general idea of the layout:

This was a great idea, well executed.

Does anyone out there know of it? Does it still function? Are
there any

drawings available? did it throw up any snags? did the
design ever get

patented? Anything to help us make up our minds if it would
be a good

project.

Make sure to ask Ed about his "Dial a Plane" control system that
automatically brings a specific spot into the door position. Ed
calls
his design for obvious reasons the Pentagon Hangar.
