 image Interior view of the Spinning Wheel at 12th and Troost, home of Herman Walder's Rocket Swing Unit.

After the breakup of the original Kansas City Rockets (under the direction of Harlan Leonard) the Walder Brothers formed the Rocket Swing Unit, which opened at the Spinning Wheel. Pictured here: The Rocket Swing Unit circa 1939.

The "Muehlebach" sign seen here advertises Muehlebach Beer, not the historic hotel of the same name.
