A HOMETOWN TOURIST’S PARADISE
“ＬＯＣＡＴＯＲ Ｐ７９－Ｇ－０９０９” shows a page of a TV guide with a description of a show called Public Eye. It details the show’s history and discusses the local areas in Mason County that the show explored in its later years. Notably, the ninth, twelfth, and seventeenth lines of the description are cut off and replaced with bizarre statements:
”You alone. The guilt radiating, and it moves beneath”
”the dead all moving below. Absence of the sensate.”
”insects stir. Sightless animals rut. Blood is singing”
FIG. 13 - PLACEMENT OF PENTATHODE ASSEMBLY (38)
“ＬＯＣＡＴＯＲ １１８－Ｆ－１３Ａ“ is a blueprint image demonstrating how to assemble a device called a “pentathode.” A patent for the machine was filed on May 18, 1931.
HATE
While not technically an image from the Local 58 Archives, this is the only image on Local 58’s Twitter that isn’t a screengrab from or a promotional image for an episode of the series. It shows a mess of blue television static obscuring everything except the word “HATE,” with the Local 58 logo superimposed over the static. The image’s manic static and random text are similar to the video distortion seen in Weather Service and Station ID.
