The web is trained between end plates having illumination cutouts and which support a spring biased take-up-roller, drive roller, a pair of transparent idler rollers and tie rods.

The split ratchet collar at the manual drive roller provides a one-way geared rotation and cooperates with a pole engaged loop to vary rotation and sign information. A pulse modulated motor controller drive is provide at the electric module. A remote controller at the electronic module provides programmed and operator entered spread spectrum drive signals over a power line carrier circuit to the drive motor to vary sign information. Sensed position indicia at the web center the characters to a viewing window of the back lit enclosure. The modules are constructed to be rack mounted in a variety of stacked organizations.
