It's possible the incubators existed that early, although the 1957 Sunset article I posted ( http://www.concentric.net/~Whmsicl/CMSI4.html ) doesn't mention them. The iconic Giant Egg exhibit we all remember was probably installed in the early-1960s.
I have been in touch with the grand-kids of the man who designed and built the original egg for the museum. If you'd like me to put you in touch with them, please drop me a line at whmsicl@concentric.net . Thanks, William
