Flourescent Letters For Changeable Copy
changeable copy letters made of clear plastic and processed with a newly developed flourescent material have been announced by Wagner Sign Service, Inc., Chicago. The newly developed letters will he exhibited for the first time at the TESMA-TOA trade show later this month.
The letters are trade-named “Glo-Flo.” Through the use of black light, it is explained, each letter becomes a separate, actual light source not dependent on transmitted visible lieht or the translucence of the sign face. They thus “create colored light rather than lighted color,” it is pointed out.
Among the advantages of the new letters, according to the manufacturer, is that their extreme brightness helps considerably where the theatre sign must compete with other lighting in the area. In addition the black light system of activation is said to afford a uniformity of illumination for every letter.
The letters are slotted for wind-proof mounting and may be used with slight
modification on all existing Wagner display frames. Literature can be secured by writing the company (218 South Hoyne Avenue) .
