The attached article appeared in the Great Western Railway
magazine Vol XLII No12 (December 1930). It gave a brief history of the changes
to smoking regulations to that date. Earlier in that year the Great Western
Railway had increased the proportion of smoking accommodation on its trains
(see 'misc_equip313'). Smoking accommodation
had been previously marked on the compartment window with either a transfer
label or by etching the glass as per the upper photograph taken in the 1930s,
but non-smoking accommodation had not been marked. In the November 1930
Magazine a short paragraph accompanied a sketch of the recently introduced
No Smoking label and stated that; For the comfort of those
passengers who object to smoking it has been arranged to label non-smoking
compartments No Smoking this label being triangular in form
bearing red letters within a red border.
