Description
American Gas Association Pavilion , Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair) . "The pillars supporting the roof of the Gas Pavilion , on Boulevard 21 , double as natural gas torches . In the center of the pavilion is a gas-dial clock . Underneath the serrated roof is a graphic report on the uses of natural gas today and a projection of its uses in the year 2001 . The educational exhibit explains the sources , processing , by-products and distribution of gas from early Greek times to the present . Time is told on the roof-top clock by the number of torches burning , while the hours are struck by bursts of flame from the central pillar . Ninety-one gas distribution companies are sponsoring the exhibit. " (Official Guide Book , Seattle World's Fair 1962 . Seattle : Acme Publications . p . 45.)
