Artifact Overview

Motor magazine was filled with useful information for car owners. Inside is an ad for a device that fit over a car's rear tail lamp to let drivers indicate whether they were going to turn left or right, drive forward -- or stop. Most drivers depended on hand signals in 1920 -- hard to see at night. This device made nighttime driving safer.
