Stephen, I gave up trying to get people to quit calling the assembly a "trafficator".  Somewhere along the line years ago, I picked up the term "mayonet" for the same thing but I can't find the source for that now.  Google is no help.  If you can't beat, 'em, join 'em.....

Subject: [Healeys] Trafficators

I've just had my Trafficators apart again because the left hand signal didn’t seem to be maintaining contact. It’s working well now, but it is a fiendish little device, and getting the lever back in with all the appropriate springs in place is not easy…sort of like watch repair.

Anyway, I was looking at the original Lucas literature and it got me to wondering why we call it a “Trafficator”. Seems that the trafficators were the little flip-up semaphore signals made by Lucas, and usually paired with what they called the “self cancelling switch assembly”…which is what we Healey people now call a trafficator.

I guess, since they were originally paired, “trafficator” slips off the tongue more easily than "self cancelling switch assembly” !

Hoping I don’t have to take that thing apart again for a long time…

Stephen, BJ8

Steve,

I have also always called "it" a "mayonet".  The thing I have always called
the "traficator" was always the swing out directional arm which can still
be found on London cabs.

I have  "flip up semaphore signals" on my '35 MG, and if you think the Healey trafficator is a fiddle, you should try working on those.  I have had both apart and I will tackle the Healey unit  any day of the week over those fiddley old things on the MG.

After fixing the MG trafficators  I commented to someone, I can't recall who, that it is almost inconceivable that the country that produced them, 4 years later produced the Spitfire.  My friend pointed out that the Spitfire wasn't expected  to last more than a few weeks either.

Cheers,  Mirek
