He had the drawing of the weathervane at 100% scale, and many other plans, elevations and sections of the structure and the ride processes inside.<br /><br />Several of the Hat-Box Ghosts were detailed, the pop-up mechanisms were noted "BY MAPO".<br /><br />My employer told me that stood for the "Mary Poppins Organization" which was an independent animatronics manufacturer established by WED with the profits made from that movie.<br /><br />I wish I could have afforded copies of those prints, but alas, too much money, so long ago.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-88540471225909233372011-02-14T15:07:48.196-08:002011-02-14T15:07:48.196-08:00SWEET!!!SWEET!!!Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-63556190999866306742011-02-14T10:41:45.826-08:002011-02-14T10:41:45.826-08:00That's a great shot of the Mansion.
