RA 7996 G.W.R. CAST IRON SIGNAL LEVER WIRE ADJUSTER HANDLE (SQUARE) TYPE. Staffs & Tablets this badge in really niceA cast iron Great Western Railway signal lever wire adjuster handle to suit the square type, this handle would have been wound either clockwise or anticlockwise to adjust the signal wire running out the the signal . The adjuster allowed the signalman to compensate the wires length due to expansion and contraction depending on the weather. These handles are very difficult to source!
