A little historical gem for those who enjoyed our previous "Iron Wand" exercise video. Pictured at right is the creator of that exercise, Turner director Richard Pertuch, in an article about the 1900 Philadelphia Gymnastic Festival, which that exercise was specifically created for. This is from a German language article in the Washington Journal, June 9, 1900.
