Francis lifted it with a crane to continue proper wrapping as he went along. For 39 years, this magnificent sphere evolved at Johnson's farm. Eventually the ball was moved to a circular open air shed on his front lawn.

 

Johnson began rolling the twine in March 1950, and wrapped four hours every day for 29 years.
