"ECO bus shelters" advert, issued by the Equipment and Engineering Co Ltd of London in "Passenger Transport" magazine, March 1961
An advert in the 8 March 1961 issue of the trade journal "Passenger Transport" issued by the manufacturers of components and equipment for the bus and coach industry the Equipment and Engineering Co Ltd who traded under the "ECO" badge. As well as making bus shelters the name was often seen on items such as bus destination blind equipment.
It is interesting to see the various designs of such humble street furniture as shelters. The more traditional composite steel and aluminium panelled shelter is shown along with the 'modern' glassfibre version that was seen as being 'low-maintenance' in that it did not, technically, need painting and should not rust! However, I do recall these faded under UV light and became brittle - damaged sections being difficult to 'patch' in-situ.
