Crossing signal
Does this crossing signal show "WAIT" & "CROSS", and is the "CROSS" in green or white?
I can't get the image clearer.- traffic-light-man

Re: Crossing signal
I have some screenshots from an old (likely to be) Pathé video somewhere which show similar signals with red 'WAIT' and white 'CROSS' indications.
I assume these were somewhat home-brew, or locally manufactured, as they don't seem to fit the general idea that the other signal companies seemed to be going for at the time.

Re: Crossing signal
I've just had a dig through and found these...
Upon close inspection, they look similar, but I'm not convinced they're the same.

Re: Crossing signal
Is this a variant of the Panda crossing?? Or more probably, the version before??
Re: Crossing signal
Those look very similar to the ones used in France in the 1960s and 70s. They had the words ATTENDEZ in red and PASSEZ in green. The PASSEZ signal would flash as the lights were about to change, just as the green man does today.traffic-light-man wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 10:22 I've just had a dig through and found these...

Re: Crossing signal
Compare to tin lanterns with the same inscriptions for pedestrians.
They're the same corner so I'd like to think the two shots are of the same signal

Re: Crossing signal
Sorry, I was referring to the worded signal in the original post, not the two images I uploaded that are most definitely from the same signal!
The ones I uploaded are part of an SGE installation, though look like later additions as the poles for these are most definitely not SGE poles. The Westminster finial top of an SGE can be seen over to the right in the background.

Re: Crossing signal
My first thought was it might have been something like the AWA Neon as attached, with a different visor and legends. These were installed in Australia around the same time as the Tin Lanterns and SGEs were still over there - just a potential theory though, of course!
