The image showcases a remarkable piece of technology from that era - the Mobile Totalisator. Stepping inside this innovative contraption, we find ourselves surrounded by a group of focused operators diligently working their magic. The Tote-A-Manuel mobile Totalisator was truly a marvel of its time, revolutionizing the way betting was conducted at sporting events. As spectators eagerly placed their wagers on horse races or greyhound competitions, these skilled individuals meticulously calculated odds and tallied up bets within the confines of this mobile hub.
