Old Light #1

Posted by Charisse Farr (Brisbane, Australia) on 17 December 2006 in Miscellaneous.

A knob on an old hand light that Poppy used to use when he was shunting for the railway. When you turned the knob, a different coloured piece of glass went in front of the bulb allowing the light to change from white to red to green. It was used to communicate with the train drivers.
