The device was actually the first of its kind in the region, installed in 1942 as part of a test being run by Palestine railways. There is a newspaper snippet about it on Israel’s digital archives.<br /> <br /> It was removed sometime between this photo and 1952, indicated by a future picture.<br /> <br /> This photo was kindly provided by, and uploaded with the permission of Chen Melling of the Israel Railways Museum.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/cibolojim/">ShutterNut...</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/cibolojim/55128128482/" title="North Korea 5000 Won 2013"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55128128482_2866fd016a_m.jpg" width="240" height="110" alt="North Korea 5000 Won 2013" /></a></p> <p>Please be aware...

When more office space was needed, the municipality rented a hotel on Bialik Street, near the home of national poet Chaim Nachman Bialik, which had been built by the Skura family in 1924. The hotel had opened for business in 1925 but was deemed unprofitable due to the lack of tourists. In 1928, the municipality bought the hotel. Later, it housed a courthouse on the ground floor.<br /> - In the 1950s a new city hall was designed by architect Menachem Cohen, in the Brutalist style. The large plaza at the foot of the building was designed as a central area for public events and ceremonies. It is located on Ibn Gabirol Street.<br /> - In 1972, the old Skura building was converted into a museum for the history of Tel Aviv. <br /> - In 2006, the municipality hired an architectural firm to carry out restoration work on the building&quot;.<br /> ***************************<br /> SOURCE INFO<br /> - The original real photo card (1 of a pack of 12) was purchased by my late father-in-law, Driver Tom Beazley, 2/8 Infantry Battalion, 6th Division, 2nd Australian Imperial Force, whilst on leave in Tel Aviv.<br /> ***************************<br /> PROCESS INFO<br /> - Digitized the badly scratched &amp; faded original photo print using a CANON Canoscan 8800F scanner.<br /> - Latest version colourized &amp; enhanced using ChatGPT AI, Topaz Gigapixel AI, Skylum Luminar Neo AI &amp; Adobe Photoshop CS2 softwares.</p>
