The first New Year s Eve Ball, made of iron and wood and adorned with one hundred 25-watt light bulbs, was 5 feet in diameter and weighed 700 pounds. It was built by a young immigrant metalworker named Jacob Starr, and for most of the twentieth century the company he founded, sign maker Artkraft Strauss, was responsible for lowering the ball.This took about thirty seconds of research. If you expect to accomplish anything in this world you need to develop your computer skills and ambition to the point where you would do this work, rather than having someone else do it.
