Three sections made up the GE pavilion. In Steinetz Hall, there was a ten-million-volt display of electricity over a 30-foot arc. In the House of Magic, there were whirling discs, a floating metal carpet, a solar motor, and a shadow that came and went independent of the person who was casting it.

The Exhibit Hall contained a complete television studio, a model electric appliance store with the full line of GE products and the General Electric X-Ray Corporation's display of an X-Ray machine and a 2,700-year-old mummy.
