Thinking a bit more about this, I suspect that they finished during the '60s as a result of the adoption in Victoria around about that time of the 'get-ready' red-over-amber traffic-light phase. 

As I recall, the last of the "Marshallite Traffic Indicators" were used at pedestrian crossings on the Nepean Highway - weel outside tram territory.

Noel Reed shared one of his pics showing one at the East Coburg tram terminus in 1955 - here 'tis.

Mal Rowe still enjoying Noel's wonderful images
