This is the only photograph I've been able to find of Waco, Texas' old Thunderbolt system. Seriously, it's as if there wasn't a single photograph of downtown Waco taken between the years 1960-99, to the exception of this one. If anyone else knows of any photographs of the old Waco system I might actually pay you real human dollars that you can spend at any store that accepts human money.
Anyway, the Thunderbolt is on the center tower atop the Alico building. I highlighted it best I could. This is sadly the best days of searching could yield.

My girlfriend does not understand this at all. Actually I really don't either.

Yeah, that is it.

Here is a really good from Atlanta, Georgia, taken in 1974. This is near I-85 and North Ave. The siren and building, of course, do not exist anymore

Here is a nice one. This is from Birmigham, Alabama, taken in June 1956. You can clearly see a thunderbolt (that still exists today).

Wow awesome Cambridge find! I wonder if Kitchener/Waterloo had CLM's or Mobil Directo's.
