Riders in the gondola of a zeppelin carousel, 1937

Close under the carousel, a long silver model airship lined with light bulbs carries a boxy gondola in which men and women in hats sit side by side; it rises off the wooden platform and sweeps away. A painted board at the foot of the tower lists the fares for adults and children, and a man in a bowler hat stands beside it as another airship swings past overhead. A turn on the ride cost a few pfennigs, within reach of a working family on a Sunday.
