Julie' Weldon has been helping us sometime now with dome promotion, marketting,
customer relations and sales. She is featured in two photos this month of
recent dome projects. First is a 10 foot steel tube dome. It is a school
project and climbing dome for the youngsters. The 1-3/8 inch tubes should
be plenty strong to hold up to climbing on. I tried it myself and had a brief
moment of inspiration!
Next is 1/2 of a 9 foot diameter Geo-Sphere of the Star Dome 1A type. Another school project, this one for high school seniors. Perhaps a good way to generate interest in math and geometry. Made from 3/4 inch steel tubes it is also quite sturdy! We recently purchased machinery that enables us to mass produce these steel tube hubless {in most cases} domes of all shapes and sizes used for whatever purpose...
This 38 foot diameter dome that will be a home for a helium balloon in New
York. Type is 4 Frequency Class II icosahedral. It is made from steel tubes,
1-3/8, 1-5/8, and 2 inches in diameter. A special feature of the dome is
the two revolving doors which will swing open on an axis/axle at the dome
apex where one of our steel patented hubs will make the vertex connection.

with one door section removed. 2/5ths of the dome will be openable, wide
enough for a large balloon, airplane, boat, RV, alien space craft....
