The 'on air' sign is a crucial feature of recording studios and radio stations. When a live recording session is taking place, the sign is lit as a signal not to interrupt. This sign is an example of a vintage lightbox from 1940. Apart from the dated typography, it looks relatively similar to the block-letter 'on air' signs that are still used today.
