The galvanised iron clad pagoda type roof was also similar to the earlier concept, except for being dimensionally much smaller, as was the whole cabinet. Earlier floors were constructed of timber which in some cases, particularly in country centres were fitted with a switching device, so that by stepping on the floor, the cabinet light was activated. Later, however, concrete floors were used exclusively, and the cabinet bolted down by means of four angle brackets. Some very much later models feature cannibalised asbestos roofs from the Tropical type cabinet.
