Description
Photograph of an Air Traffic Control radar display at the Burbank Airport, 1937. At center, a large circular map is pictured embedded in a what appears to be a metal frame. Concentric circles are pictured inside, and the following areas are displayed on the map: Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Hollywood, Glendale, Burbank and Tuhunga. The map appears to have street-level detail. An earlier version of the record reads "Spitz Flight Recorder".
