Hi all -





Looks like it's this collectible:





http://www.doublequicktime.com/item/description/id/61650887





The "Talking Map of the World" + record.  Wonder what it says to you?  Anyone still have a 45rpm record player?





It's kind of a relief that it isn't an exploration route of some kind [😊]

Subject: World map with strange routing printed on it





Hi all,







OK, I’ll try sending you this image again.  Previously it was too big for attachment.







This is the image of a Hammond world map I asked about earlier, that shows some kind of routing from the southeast pacific, eventually  making its way to Bangladesh.  If anyone has any ideas of what historical even this routing may represent, your wisdom would be really appreciated.  Maybe it’s some kind of bird migration.  I have no clue.







Thanks again,



Rick Grapes
