Ringling - 1951


I'm not a RBBB expert. This definitely isn't the Big Top but there appears to be an entrance canopy near the telephone pole. Also it is a bale ring then a push pole then a bale ring etc. top. Very odd design. Has anyone got an idea?

'Tis the cookhouse or dining tent. Note: The flag is up! (there is a cable between each bale ring/center pole which simply supports the middle sections between poles - there is not a "push pole" between each bale ring/center pole.)

Oops. Wrong. There is not a cable between each bale ring/center pole. I am guessing that stability was just fine and a push pole between each bale ring/center pole was enough for the few hours it was in the air.
