Nice job on the rollsign.
Brimson's "Tramways of Australia" shows earlier cars with such signs, but
mightn't those be cards rather than rollers?
You may discover that the map reproduces fairly well. I've had luck in the past
making b&w xeroxes of spirit copies ("dittos," we used to call them).
Which brings us to another question: have you considered trying to do OCR on
the entire article? If you came up with a remotely usable file, I'd be willing
to do some work cleaning it up.

NO historical accuracy intended - just something that
looks a bit better.
If someone wants the underlying Word file I have been
playing with to improve it let me know and I will
email direct (group rules forbid posting)

By the way, i notice that some pix of Geelong cars
show black letters on a white background for the
rolls.
