Life for a sign guy in the1930's

[DL Signs]

This popped up as a recommended video. Before all our times, but shows the ingenuity of massive lighted 1930's signs, and how they were maintained. Next time ya' think programming or servicing a message center or sign is difficult, think of this...

it's a FILM from 1935. video tape began in 1955 (bing crosby productions & Desilu)
portable cameras in the late 1960's but you had to thread an open reel deck.

Yes, a different breed of men. And a lot of them fell and died.

Safety issues aside -- I can't imagine how many man hours (and the cost) it took to engineer and build that monster. That's a serious investment!

The last clip with the guy doing it at night, and all those lights blinking by... Almost disorienting just watching it.

Working on that at night could give you epilepsy after awhile.
