Just wondering what passes the test of time? I personally have an old Casio watch and if you count fruit trees, those are pretty old too.

    Aww, that’s a shame they didn’t go through with it. I don’t see why it would be an issue structurally. You’d just need to build the structural spiller in the center, then put lights around that, then glass around that. LEDs would make this so much easier, but it still should have been doable. You could even make the glass “floating” so the floor/ceiling shaking wouldn’t break it.

      I think in 1925 their ability to cushion big hunks of glass was lower, and they didn’t have safety glass. It was probably a good call, even though it was a cool idea.
