Did such electric score-counters have existed in the pre-war times?  |

That is a good question, ingo  I'll be sure forward this information to Gallery of Lights site .gif ";)") Comments entered in the Gallery of lights: http://www.galleryoflights.org/mb/index.php?topic=195.msg1661#msg1661 -- Last edit: 2010-08-20 01:46:45 |

It is possible; the electronic scoreboard was invented in 1908 and such a variant like this would be useful at airfield in low-visibility conditions. |

Certainly nothing "electronic" existed in 1908 (at least outside a physics lab) and I doubt in the 30s as well, so probably an anachronism. |

Tubes. Yes you are technically correct vacuum tubes are considered electronic devices. Thanks for the link. But even those haven't seen much practical implementation outside labs before the 1910s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube -first practical application for an electronic signal amplifier was in 1907, General Electric started production of vacuum triodes in 1915. But I was thinking more in terms of transistors which came in the late 40s early 50s. As far as the original question it appears that even though George A. Baird invented an *electric* scoreboard in 1908 (probably using an array of lamps, some sites take a leap and call this 'electronic' or even 'digital'!) https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/24976/100-years-scoreboard-watching , this one in main looks more like early LEDs which weren't around until the 60s. -- Last edit: 2022-05-13 18:10:53 |

Yes, the same truck. A 1939-1949 GMC AC-500/600. |
