Thanks, Rollie. I am sure this is true, but I have no photos of the
surrounding stuff. I'll check the web sites you suggested, but any
other photos would be quite helpful. Or book references with page
number, etc.

Yep, I understand better (now).

Whatza "overflow barrier" look like?

Any photos of this type of signal anywhere? Gotta go check my books --
groan -- and I thought I was nearly done. Darn List -- always adding to
my workload. Were lunar signals in use in the '40s?
>Another signal from the engineer as they passed a blue or purple
signal at the other end of the pan,
I assume this signal looks just like the white signal except for color.
Right?
