It was the idea of the famous cutaway artist, amateur telescope builder, and Hayward's Caltech colleague, Russell W. Porter. It was removed in the mid-1960's. Hayward built a 6 foot moon hemisphere for Adler planetarium. Disney had Hayward reproduce both of these models (borrowing the master concrete molds from the giant model from Griffith) for his studios to be used in the Trip to the Moon and "Tomorrowland" TV shows.<br />The current Griffith Observatory globe is not by Roger Hayward, but was a commercial globe made in the late 1960's after Lunar Orbiter mapped the whole moon.<br />We do have, in storage, Hayward 3-D models of Meteor Crater, Arizona, and Crater lake, Or. Hayward was involved with the first generation of exhibits at Griffith Observatory, including our Foucault pendulum.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970964045724090008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23059353.post-10694161152208548822010-04-09T06:38:47.449-07:002010-04-09T06:38:47.449-07:00Hey Kevin - Roger Hayward was my great uncle.

We do have a copy of his collaboration with Linus Pauling laying around; he made jewelry, and I have one of his tools sitting on my desk because it looks cool. He made funny little wooden heads whose tongues stuck out when you pulled a lever. I never met him. He's WAY more interesting than me.E.C.

It really is too bad that the Griffith Observatory doesn't credit Hayward...<br /><br />The 'Man and the Moon' clip is delightful, and Hayward's model looks superb! I'm sure that the series would not have been as great without it.<br /><br />I agree with Katella Gate, the spaceship's instruments were a riot! I especially liked the old rotary phone dial! What did THAT control? Maybe, the astronaut was trying to call Mr. Hayward to tell him how fantastic his model looked from space! ;)Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876509089526819429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23059353.post-11771003189776143702009-07-22T09:40:40.280-07:002009-07-22T09:40:40.280-07:00YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC BLOG!
