For illiterate passengers, destinations displayed on Sydney’s trams featured the name of the terminal suburb AND a series of colours, symbols and/or shapes to represent that destination. Glebe’s ‘sign’ comprised two red balls, side by side on a white background, as seen here, preserved, at the Sydney Tramway Museum, Loftus: 26 February 2012.
