Hello
I am interested if anyone on the list remembers city centre tourist maps,
displayed on large poster boards in public places from the 1950s/60s era.
A colleague mentioned that he remembers them in Manchester and they included
some kind of roller-pulley system that allowed people to move a selection
pointer around on the map.
I think the attached photograph might be showing what this kind of map but its
not very clear. Its also online at
http://www.gmlives.org.uk/imu/request.php?request=Multimedia&method=fetch&key=4869
Any information gratefully received.
many thanks
