Photograph. "Down, please -- J. Leonard Reinsch tries out elevator which will minimize tumbles by speakers. -- No slip, no trip at Arena -- None of the speakers at the Democratic National Convention need fear that he will trip and fall on his face while descending from the 'presentation platform' to the rostrum. -- He will be carried down the seven-foot descent neatly and safely, on a small platform elevator, like those which raise and lower orchestras in a theater. -- The 'presentation platform' is where a speaker stands to receive whatever ovation is given; the rostrum is where he speaks." -- Examiner clipping attached to another print, dated 1 July 1960.; Streetscape. Horizontal photography.
