Summary:

"Powers of ten" illustrates a picnic in Chicago and then begins moving ten times farther out every ten seconds, until our own galaxy is visible only as a speck of light. Then, we move inward into the hand of a sleeping picnicker with ten times more magnification every ten seconds. "A rough sketch" is an earlier version of the same concept illustrated in "Powers of ten". "901 : after 45 years of working" examines the Office of Charles and Ray Eames as it is being dismantled and cleaned out.
