Franco Traffic Signs Ltd - catalogue, c1950 - warning signs
A page from the c1950 Franco Traffic Signs catalogue showing the 'standard' range of traffic warning signs known as 'pre-Worboy' designs as they were eventually replaced by the UK's standard road sign convention in 1964. The signs, some illustrated and the range listed, are unusually described here as 'symbol plates'. The catalogue is undated but the crossroads sign and the school sign (this is the 'torch of knowledge) shown here were amended to different designs in 1955. The page also shows the basic post sizes and dimensions advised and the layout of signs. My, how nice it would be to write to Franco Traffic Signs and order a set!
