  1. Patent for the Trylon and Perisphere, the two structures, together known as the "Theme Center", at the center of the New York World's Fair of 1939-1940. This was the fair that also had the famed exhibit called "Futurama". Wikipedia says "The Trylon and Perisphere became the central symbol of the 1939 World's Fair, its image reproduced by the million on a wide range of promotional materials and serving as the fairground's focal point." Nice bit of information!
