Railway Signal Block Instrument
This is a vintage railway signal block instrument, likely originating from the British railway system, and specifically noted as being from Wendover train station. These instruments were crucial components in the safe operation of railway lines, used to control train movements and prevent collisions. The rotary design allowed signalmen to visually indicate line availability and authorise train passage, forming a vital part of the interlocking system.
