WOW.

Thank you, Jay for posting this. I have often wondered just what sort of actuating mechanism was moving the semaphore arms in this type of signal. Your side shot helps me to understand. Bill

As if we don't have enough levers and peddles to operate when we are trying to turn or stop they give us another one! That would be a great addition to anyones Model T. Thanks for sharing.

True Dennis but I would sure love to get ahold of one. They are so neat. Trouble is I don't think they're too well suited for a touring?

It looks like the coils & mechanism are all exposed to the weather. I can't imagine this functioning for very long.

Jay - There is a nice original advertisement for this device on eBay right now!

A fantastic piece of rube Goldberg design, but the drawing and hand lettering in the instructions are priceless.
Another treat.
Thanks
Rich

My 1924 Tudor has one of these signals on the back. It is fun to see the expressions on the faces of the folks in the following car when you signal for a turn!

However I wish that mine was as nice as your's Jay, what a gem!

If I mounted that on my car these days, I'd be worried that the person behind me would be so fascinated by it that they'd lose their concentration and run right into the back of me! :-)
