Circa 1964-1966 Amarillo, TX had a traffic signal with a countdown amber light. It displayed count down digits before turning solid amber. Our parents would drive us down there just to watch the light change. It pre-dates LEDs. Could it have been a Bina-View?

Unlikely. But if you find any pictures or documentation of that display then please post it.

Thank you! The Bina-View is very cool.

Fran, You did such a nice job explaining the displays, both big and small, I immediately thought of you you when I saw this Mission Control video: https://youtu.be/pWGoey-L2mU.

I found more information on the count down amber traffic signal. It was demonstrated at a 1966 traffic safety conference in Amarillo, TX, where I saw it. I found a few newspaper articles on it and the patent. The mechanical aspects of the display are skimpy, other than it used a 10 segment lamp display (9 with segment 3 repeated). https://patents.google.com/patent/US3480909A/en?q=((Countdown+traffic+signal))&inventor=Hines&oq=((Countdown+traffic+signal))+inventor:Hines An earlier version which hung below a standard signal was entirely electro-mechanical with 4 projection displays.
