Photo showing what appears to be part of an illegal still. Five men are shown. Med Cayer, Arcadia police officer, is 2nd from left. Arcadia police officer Jack Miller is on extreme right. The men are standing in front of a building with a car behind them. There are two motorcycles visible on either side of the group. Med Cayer and Jack Miller are in uniform, the other three men do not appear to be in uniform. Identification provided by Arcadia Police Sgt. Andrew Ballantyne.
View (we do not known which direction camera is looking) of Goodyear blimp VOLUNTEER when it stopped at Ross Field Balloon School. About 11 people seen to be gathered near it. On right side of photo is a long barracks-like building.
Home and office of Dr. Fletcher Sanborn on NE corner of First and Wheeler. Note his professional sign on the lawn. There is chicken-wire fence showing in front. This house had many lives; its last was home for H.O.Y. Clinic until this was torn down about 1977.
Four wheel drive truck with Cunningham winch used to get balloon aloft and back down and to keep them anchored. One truck for each balloon and had 1500 meters of heavy cable. Tires of truck were solid rubber. Note: ground line coming from truck near winch. This was to take care of static electricity generated along cable due to telephone in balloon. Information from H.F.Paden, Arcadia resident in 1978, former officer at Balloon School.
