Riding the roller coaster, 1937

Riding in a car of the roller coaster, the timber framework of the ride looms up and falls away; an arm reaches out over the side, riders lean and grab at each other, and in the plunge rails, beams and the fairground below tilt and smear into streaks of light and dark. A camera carried aboard a ride was still a novelty in the 1930s, and the sequence gives the thrill of the drop as the riders felt it.
