“Vaico International”, Tower Hamlets: global gloves

1 Comment Posted by on May 10, 2012

“Vaico International” burglar alarm, Tower Hamlets • These hands look like they’re literally trying to put the world to rights on this sadly leaning sounder. There’ a picture of a more recent Vaico sounder here – hands still tightly cupping their proud globe of internationalness – and the 1997-founded firm’s official website is here, though it doesn’t offer any explanation of the cryptic name. Globes are a very popular theme, and one I’ll return to soon. These are the last disembodied hands for now: tomorrow, alarms relating to swiftness. • Spotted: Wentworth Street, Tower Hamlets, London, E1, England, 2010 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Bethnal Green and Bow

    The website is even funnier than the bell box ;-)
