Date 1924
Description Illuminated news bulletin and how it works
Details

The Newspaper of the Streets. The illuminated news bulletin which tells passer-by at night the latest news. Diagram by S. W. Clatworthy in The Sphere demonstrating how an illuminated sign is operated. The diagram here shows the Morning Post building, later to become Inveresk House, home of Illustrated Newspapers Ltd. The signs, which used around 300 lamps were made by (wait for it), the Scintillating Sign Company of Fleet Street, who were patentees and owners of the design. According to The Sphere, they were very helpful to the artist while he was making this drawing.
