I am interested to know if telegraph wires were normally on the opposite side to the cabin (so as not to obstruct view)?
Brown lever gate locks is another area I could do with some expert advice..
When gates are open to road and foot traffic would the levers be out of the frame... then gates shut (road) and the lever put back in frame to lock ?
Would a wicket gate have to be locked to clear signals ?
On a hand operated gate crossing would a signalman close gates as soon as he accepts the service, or wait till train is entering section ( apprecite that distances would affect this)

Here's a picture showing one item not seen in the above - the stool (or rather, two-thirds of it):

First, in a Midland box the non-pegging block instruments would be the same full-height articles as the peggers. Some are visible here http://www.tlr.ltd.uk/sigbox/news/news_2012.eb third & subsequent pictures down........ In fact the description plates for the levers were fitted in a position where they bridged the two segments of the frame cover (the gap ran along the line fo the slots). Again, St Albans comes to the rescue with a picture (penultimate here http://www.tlr.ltd.uk/sigbox/news/news_2011.eb )........
