Fishbowl destination signs

[7LineFan 256]

Can anyone tell me how to read them? You know, the signs with the blue on the left and the red on the right?

 

Here's an example of what I'm talking about from Bustalk.info. Sign's in the upper right of the picture.

 

And also, did the 1959-1962 Fishbowls have side destination signs? If so, then where?

Blue on left = via (main street served), Red on right = destination

 

For example Bx1-Grand Concourse-138 St

Ah. Thanks.

I see the side sign in the photograph you linked. It's close to the rear door.

That fishbowl was not treated properly!

I see the side sign in the photograph you linked. It's close to the rear door.

 

The ones with the roof ads had them there, and on both sides too. But why near the rear door? That's the center of the bus. It would make more sense to have them where they are today, above the first window (maybe that's why they're there on today's buses?).
