//@roaringcenturies: On this day in 1935, the world's first parking meters were installed in Oklahoma City. Designed by Carl Magee, the parking meter was a modern solution to parking congestion. The impact of the parking meter was threefold: 1st, solved Oklahoma City's parking problem. 2nd, it brought revenue into the city coffers through meter money (nickel/hr) and parking fines. 3rd, it started a national and worldwide trend, and parking meters sprang up in cities across the nation and world. 📷: Collecting coins from a parking meter, 1953, unknown location #history #americanhistory #historia #ushistory
