This web site provides information on Westinghouse Brake & Saxby Signal Co. Ltd. miniature power lever frames. Information is predominately about the Style 'L' all electric miniature power lever frames based in the UK, but now covers worldwide locations where available.
The Style 'B' & 'K' miniature power lever frames are supported, these historical pre-cursor frames were important in the development process of the Style 'L' frame.
London Underground railways used miniature power lever frames initially Style 'B' was used. Later on Style 'N' was introduced this is a mechanically locked version of the Style 'L' frame. Style 'M', 'M2' & 'V' are also support. |
| The interior of Clapham Junction 'A' signal box, this was a Westinghouse 'L' frame installation, the day shots were taken on 21st June 1988, the night shots on 6th March 1989. Reproduced by kind permission of © David A Ingham - more details about Clapham Junction 'A' signal box is contained in 'Style 'L' lever frame installed by WBS' contents menu box. |
| Westinghouse produced different lever frame 'Styles' over the years and the web site provides signal box listings by lever frame style via the 'Contents' menu on the left. Each Style menu lists each signal box location with that frame style. A lever frame index for the 'L', 'N', 'K' & 'B' Style lever frames is provided near the bottom of the Contents menu which can be navigated as well. A list of all signal box names is also provided on one page called 'Sitemap' and is located at the bottom of the home page along with the 'Updatelog' web page which lists updates as they happen. |
| In 1935 Westinghouse Brake & Saxby Signal Co. Ltd, dropped the 'Saxby' from their title, and this became Westinghouse Brake & Signal Co. Ltd. |
