The Aftensposten operated a
"Lysavis" - an electronic news-ticker during the October 1930 Norwegian Stortingsvalget to inform people of the results of the election. The Lysavis was located at the
Oslo Østbanestasjon - Oslo's main station in 1930. Lowry refers to the
Aftensposten Lysavis in his first novel
Ultramarine when he thinks of meeting Janet Travena; "Under the
Aftenpostens Lysavis, standing in the
Drammersveien with you." (Pg. 52).
