Happy Holiday Everyone! This week's signal is one of Detroit's oldest survivors dating to the 1930s. It was manufactured by General Electric under the name NOVALUX. the body is a single-piece aluminum casting with three doors to access bulbs and reflectors inside. This one stands guard at E Grand and Palmer.

Very vivid picture! Any photographs of traffic signals in or around Rosedale Park in Northwest Detroit?

Fun hobby and very informative descriptions! Thanks. It's amazing these things last so long probably with minimal maintenance, too.

Your photo is very clear; what camera do you use?

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I don't really have any pics of NW Detroit signals yet, but I will try. As for my camera, nothing special - its about 3 years old. A Fuji Finepix S3000 with a 6x optical and under 5 megapixel I beleive.
