  8. perma-scowl: In 1941, the U.S. began to form a hand-picked army to fight in Europe. What made it different is that its troops were composed of artists, designers, actors, meteorologists, and sound technicians, and their true mission was not to fight, but to deceive the German army. Their props were inflatable tanks and pyrotechnics; their tools camouflage, “spoof” radio plays, special effects, and sonic deception. Their last “disappearing act” was to vanish from history. Officially they were designated as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, the first and last battlefield deception outfit ever authorized by the U.S. Army.

    Presidential Information Wheels

    1-3. Story of Our Presidents, 1932 - This presidential portrait chart provides basic facts (including education, most notable achievement, and effect of work) for 30 American Presidents. The “underbelly” of the wheel reveals statistics carefully composed to correspond to the die-cuts on the top level. 

    4-5. “Complete a Portrait” Presidential Quiz Wheel, 1964 - This wheel uses a mix-and-match portrait system to represent key biographical data for Presidents Washington through Johnson. An odd gap on the inner disk is caused by the fact that Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th president.
