PT Boat
A PT boat (short for patrol torpedo boat) was a motor torpedo boat used by the United States Navy in World War II. It was small, fast, and inexpensive to build, and it was valued for its maneuverability and speed. However, PT boats were hampered at the beginning of the war by ineffective torpedoes, limited armament, and comparatively fragile construction that limited some of the variants to coastal waters. In the US Navy they were organized in Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons (MTBRONs). The PT boat was very different from the first generation of torpedo boats, which had been developed at the end of the 19th century and featured a displacement hull form. These first generation torpedo boats rode low in the water, displaced up to 300 tons, and had a top speed of . During World War I Italy, the US, and UK developed the first high-performance, gasoline-powered motor torpedo boats (often with top speeds over ) and corresponding torpedo tactics, but these projects were all quickly di ...

Elco Theatre
The Lerner Theatre, previously known as the Elco Theatre, is a historic theatre located at Elkhart, Elkhart County, Indiana, United States. History The Lerner Theatre was built in 1924, after Harry E. Lerner commissioned Chicago architect K. V. Vitchum to design it. Built as a vaudeville theatre, by the late 1920s it had evolved into a motion picture palace. Lerner sold it to Warner Brothers in 1932, who operated it for a couple of years under the name Warner Theatre. They redecorated it in red and gold and added the distinctive "waterfall curtain", and a "huge vertical marquee spelling out the theatre's name in bold letters" out the front. After Warner Brothers went bankrupt, the Indiana-Illinois Theatre took over in 1934. They held a contest to rename it, with Elco Theatre chosen as the winning name. In 1940, Manta & Rose Theatres acquired the Elco in 1940 and operated it for 20 years. They modernized it and took down the old vertical marquee, replacing it with a horizontal ...
