Every photo in our collection is an original vintage print from a newspaper or news service archive, not a digital image. Please see our FAQ for more information.

Description
A spacesaving greenhouse: the gardener Carlheinz Scheidtmann (Carlheinz Scheidtmann) from Essen has constructed. It consists of a big wheel, which has a diameter of 3 meters and which weighs about 500 kilos and makes 6 turns every hour. In this way every flower gets both sun and shadow. An engine with 1 horsepower is enough to drive 5-6 wheels. These wheels make it possible to have automatic irrigation works.

Photo measures 6 x 8.5 inches.

Photo is dated 3-22-1965.
