Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 2 with articulated tram 806 (1993)The trams' colored line signs were both a practical and very festive feature in the cityscape, which was further enhanced in the evening by the colored roof lanterns in all possible color combinations. The last modern articulated trams were built only a short time before the final closure of tram operations and the trams were sold to Alexandria in Egypt.

Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 11 with railcar 450 (1993)Line 11 was a child of World War II. It was established on April 22, 1944 with a route from Brønshøj Torv to Kongens Enghave. Right from the start, the newly built "scrap cars" were used on the line, but later it lost its importance and was only operated with old equipment. The line was closed on July 21, 1958. Because of the green and blue line colors, it was nicknamed "Undulaten".

Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 7 with railcar 596 (1993)Copenhagen's most popular tram type was the bogie tram, designed by Ib Lunding. The first trams entered service as early as 1930. Lunding's elegant combination of platform and central entrance trams aroused great admiration among experts. Later, the trams were converted to permanent conductors and the original elegance was lost. Line 7 was converted to bus operation on 25 April 1971.

Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 11 with railcar 311 (1993)Architect Knud Valdemar Engelhardt designed this type of motor car, which was built in 1910 by "Scandia" in Randers. Although only 10 examples were built, the type of car nevertheless served as a model for many of Copenhagen Tramway's later car purchases. The cars were, as shown here, rebuilt during World War II with extended platforms and undercarriage.

Pharmaceutical inspectors are constantly working to check the purity of the goods and the exact composition of the preparations. The drug prices, which are common to all the country's pharmacists, are prepared by the state. Consequently, they are determined in such a way that consideration is given to the public's interests as well as to the very high demands placed on the layout and operation of a modern pharmacy.By Henrik Boye, Ordrupsvejs Apotek - 1982.
