"Jaws"

Week of Sept. 2, 1974
"Bruce," a 25-ft. mechanical great white shark, is built for the film "Jaws." Bigger than a bakery truck, "Bruce is for close-up action of limb tearing, boat bashing and man eating." Constructed out of polyurethane, steel, plastic tubing and pneumatic hoses, Bruce needs a crew of 23 to keep him afloat and chomping away on victims.
