Opened in 1917, the Marshall Square Theatre was designed by Alexander Levy, who later teamed with Frederick Klein to go on to design some of Chicago’s greatest movie palaces, like the Granada and Marbro Theatres. It was located in the Marshall Square neighborhood on 22nd Street near Marshall Boulevard (22nd Street was later renamed Cermak Road, after the Mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak, 1931-33, who died from a bullet in Miami meant for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt).
Originally a venue for both vaudeville acts as well as movies, the Marshall Square later switched to a movies-only policy, until the screen went dark in the 70s.
In 1936, architect Roy B. Blass remodeled the Marshall Square, and new signage was added on the the elegant terra-cotta covered facade. One of the support beams for the soaring vertical sign was unfortunately rammed right through the large terra-cotta face of a beautiful goddess above the main entrance, sadly destroying it.
Today, restored and renovated in the 90s for use as a concert hall, the Marshall Square is now known as Apollo’s 2000.

In 1934, it introduced its regular Amateur Night shows. Billing itself as a place "where stars are born and legends are made," the Apollo became famous for launching the careers of artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Jackson 5, Patti LaBelle, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Ben E. King, Mariah Carey, The Isley Brothers, Lauryn Hill, and Sarah Vaughan.

The Apollo Theater was originally a whites only venue under another name. It was renamed to the Apollo when Afro-Americans were admitted in 1934. It has a very long-reaching influence on American music. Among musicians who won Amateur Night competitions are Ella Fitzgerald and Jimi Hendrix.
At the Apollo, it was originally called "Audition Night", but later became "Amateur Night in Harlem", held every Monday evening and broadcast on the radio over WMCA and eleven affiliate stations.
One unique feature of the Apollo during Amateur Nights was "the executioner", a man with a broom who would sweep performers off the stage if the highly vocal and opinionated audiences began to call for their removal. Stagehand Norman Miller, known as "Porto Rico" (later played by Bob Collins) might also chase the poor performer offstage with a cap pistol, accompanied by the sound of a siren. (Wikipedia)

The Apollo Fuel Cell was designed to convert cryogenic oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) into electrical power. A vitally important by-product of this chemical reaction was the production of water (H2O) which was used by the astronauts during their mission. A complement of three 28-volt fuel cells provided all the onboard electrical power to the Apollo Command and Service Module (the Lunar Excursion Module was battery powered). Each fuel cell was rated at 1.5kW, with a maximum power of 2.2kW for brief periods. Each fuel cell consisted of 31 cells connected in scries (each producing one volt) and weighed 245 pounds. Each fuel cell had its own hydrogen and oxygen compartment and two electrodes (conductors). The heat produced by the chemical reaction (mixing H2 with O2) was used to maintain the gases at a reactive temperature (385 F) while excess heat was vented into space. The three power cells operated in parallel; although a single power plant was enough to ensure safe return. Fuel cells were first tested during the Gemini program and are still used today, in modified form, aboard the Space Shuttle.

Art Deco, Apollo Victoria Theatre, London, 5 Sep 2015
The Apollo Victoria Theatre was built in 1930 as a cinema.
These two relief panels are on the Wilton Road entrance.
They were created in 1930 by Newbury Abbot Trent (1885 – 1953)
The two panels use the same figures, their postures reflecting the the scene.
The exception is the 'Smoking Man' who is just passing the time in each relief.
I suspect that this is Trent himself.
There is a marked similarity with the photos in the National Portrait Gallery.
The Lunar Roving Vehicle had a mass of 463 lbs and was designed to hold a payload of an additional 1,080 lbs on the lunar surface. The frame was 10 feet long with a wheelbase of 7.5 feet. The maximum height was 3.75 feet. The frame was made of aluminum alloy 2219 tubing welded assemblies and consisted of a 3 part chassis which was hinged in the center so it could be folded up and hung in the Lunar Module quad 1 bay. It had two side-by-side foldable seats made of tubular aluminum with nylon webbing and aluminum floor panels. An armrest was mounted between the seats, and each seat had adjustable footrests and a velcro seatbelt. A large mesh dish antenna was mounted on a mast on the front center of the rover. The suspension consisted of a double horizontal wishbone with upper and lower torsion bars and a damper unit between the chassis and upper wishbone. Fully loaded the LRV had a ground clearance of 14 inches.
The wheels consisted of a spun aluminum hub and an 32 inches diameter, 9 inch wide tire made of zinc coated woven .033 inch diameter steel strands attached to the rim and discs of formed aluminum. Titanium chevrons covered 50% of the contact area to provide traction. Inside the tire was a 25.5 inch diameter bump stop frame to protect the hub. Dust guards were mounted above the wheels. Each wheel had its own electric drive, a DC series wound 0.25 hp motor capable of 10,000 rpm, attached to the wheel via an 80:1 harmonic drive, and a mechanical brake unit. Maneuvering capability was provided through the use of front and rear steering motors. Each series wound DC steering motor was capable of 0.1 hp. Both sets of wheels would turn in opposite directions, giving a steering radius of 10 feet, or could be decoupled so only one set would be used for steering. They could also free-wheel in case of drive failure. Power was provided by two 36-volt silver-zinc potassium hydroxide non-rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 121 A·h. These were used to power the drive and steering motors and also a 36 volt utility outlet mounted on front of the LRV to power the communications relay unit or the TV camera.
A T-shaped hand controller situated between the two seats controlled the four drive motors, two steering motors and brakes. Moving the stick forward powered the LRV forward, left and right turned the vehicle left or right, pulling backwards activated the brakes. Activating a switch on the handle before pulling back would put the LRV into reverse. Pulling the handle all the way back activated a parking brake. The control and display modules were situated in front of the handle and gave information on the speed, heading, pitch, and power and temperature levels.
Navigation was based on continuously recording direction and distance through use of a directional gyro and odometer and inputting this data to a computer which would keep track of the overall direction and distance back to the LM. There was also a Sun-shadow device which could give a manual heading based on the direction of the Sun, using the fact that the Sun moved very slowly in the sky.

Post WWII Service
She was then deployed for repatriation work and carried British Prisoners of War to Shanghai for onward passage back to UK. In addition, the ship embarked mail and stores to ships and establishments in the Pacific area including the Fleet Base at Manus, Shanghai, Japanese ports and Hong Kong. This type of deployment particularly suited this Class of ship because of their high speed and ample capacity for stowage of cargo. After a routine docking in Hong Kong, she spent Xmas 1945 at Shanghai with other RN ships of the British Pacific Fleet and returned to Australia during January. For the next few months, the ship was mainly used for taking mail, stores and some service personnel to RN ships and establishments in the Far East. Later in 1946 she returned to Chatham and was paid off into Reserve. In 1951 this ship was brought forward for service as part of the steps taken after the outbreak of war in Korea. Following a refit, she joined the Home Fleet and remained in full commission for 10 years, including a period as Flagship. HMS APOLLO was finally paid off in 1961 and returned to Reserve. She was put on the Disposal List the next year and sold for breaking-up by Hughes Bolcow at Sunderland where she arrived in November 1962.

This is an actual lunar module, one of 12 built for Project Apollo. It was meant to be used in low Earth orbit to test the techniques of separation, rendezvous, and docking with the command and service module. The second of two such test vehicles, its mission was cancelled because of the complete success of the first flight.
The lunar module had two stages. The descent (lower) stage was equipped with a rocket motor to slow the rate of descent to the lunar surface. It contained exploration equipment and remained on the Moon when the astronauts left. The ascent (upper) stage contained the crew compartment and a rocket motor to return the astronauts to the orbiting command module. After the crew entered the command module for the trip back to Earth, the lunar module was released and eventually crashed into the Moon.
