QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

� Here are some answers to the most commonly

asked questions.

WHEN DID CONSTRUCTION OF THE

MOVING WALL BEGIN?

� The original wall panels were photographs

mounted on masonite panels. These panels were

attached to sixteen (16) 2x4's and plywood

frames, sixteen (16) feet long. This wall was built

in 1983. In anticipation of new aluminum panels,

an aluminum frame was designed and built in

1994. This aluminum frame, folds in half and fits

in a small trailer. The wall now could be

assembled and taken down in less than an hour. In

1995, the photographic panels were replaced with

aluminum panels. The names are laser etched by

computer on the panels, which are painted with a

black powder coating and baked to a mirror finish.

Name rubbings can now be made from these

panels.

1995. In May, the last panel was laser etched and
