Miss Atlas (Gerda Rogge), strong woman / Kraft Balance / силовой баланс, 1983

From www.circopedia....
"Vera and Gerda regrouped the Rogge Sisters act with Frank’s sister, Juliette. For a brief period in 1963-64, they were featured with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus during its short-lived European tour. The act was still doing very well, but it eventually disbanded after Vera’s tragic death in the fire of her living trailer; Gerda Rogge went on to create a successful "strong lady" act of her own under the name of Miss Atlas. (She died in Hamburg in 1996, at the age of sixty.)"
The weight of the globe itself was 55-65kg (source: Mina Hassani)

Gerda's neck strength is amazing. I'd like to know how her assistant managed to get that much speed inside the rotating globe.
