I remember 30th street station in Philadelphia had one. Fascinating to watch! I think it replaced a chalk board!
What sort of urgent and changing messages will be displayed at the rest rooms?

I use it tongue-in-cheek.  The board by the restrooms holds our schedules for the upcoming months, and even though it looks like a Solari board, it's one where letters are stuck in felt slots.  So to move a line up is one character at a time.

In other words, it's really a Slow-lari board  :o

It's an armstrong turntable message board.
We want...A SHRUBBERY!  One that looks nice, and not too expensive.

Thanks for the information. I thought perhaps the availability status of the new changing table would be good information. A solari board would free up precious labor by not requiring a clerk for that duty.

They are still made.  I found a small one, if anyone would care to donate one.  See https://shop.vestaboard.com/products/vestaboard-white.

Have to go along with the crew, not a 1920's vibe from that one.
