LOS ANGELES—Patrons at Walt Disneys fabulous amusement park, Disneyland, may have their popcorn from a choice of Cretors popcorn machines— a brand new Cretors "Olympic" over-the-counter job, or two 60-year-oid steam-powered models.
The old Cretors steamer is one of the many relics of a sentimental past on display in Disneyland, and the action of the fascinating steam engine still is a traffic stopper, according to the Disneyland management.
The steam model was built by hand especially for Disneyland Park by Cretors craftsmen who produced the same machine many years ago.
While these Cretors steamers have lots of curiosity value and can pop about 75 pounds of raw popcorn per hour, it was necessary to add two of the highvolume production Cretors "Olympics" to supply enough popped corn for Disneyland crowds. The two "Olympic" machines can pop 100 pounds of raw corn per hour, but all four machines are kept busy popping throughout the time Disneyland is open.
