G.E. Signals |
GE's Novalux and grooveback single face heads were quite popular. Their post WW-II one-piece 4-way had a distinctive look and was a practical signal. Their streamline single face model, introduced in 1954, was quite modern for its time. Early GE signals had holophane spiderweb pattern lenses. Later GE lenses had what we generally describe as a brick pattern. GE's traffic signal product line was taken over by Econolite in 1957 and Econolites are still made today.
The collection so far includes a 4-way, a single faced head with "brick" lenses, a Baltimore spec streamline single faced head and a streamline pedestrian head.
This particular 4-way came from Pittsburgh, PA.
