| The 'K' Style lever frame at Moorgate was as you can see here was only 11 levers in total, looking closely at the picture levers 5 & 6 are the point levers for the crossovers and all the other levers appear used for signals, 11 appears to be the Outer Home signal, 7-10 appear to be the Inner Home signal. So I guess 1-4 are for signalling trains in the opposite direction as Moorgate was a terminus station. The frame is a Westinghouse Style 'K' Power Frame and was mechanically interlocked between levers with electrical lever locking, The frame was formed of 1 x 12 way section, making a total of 11 levers, {1x12}-1 = 11 levers, as the last “lever” space is unavailable. 2 levers levers worked the point, and 9 levers worked the signals with 0 spare levers being provided. |
