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.<br><br>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.<br><br>I guess, since they were originally paired, “trafficator” slips off the tongue more easily than "self cancelling switch assembly” !<br><br>Hoping I don’t have to take that thing apart again for a long time…<br><br>Stephen, BJ8<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys</a> <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br><br><a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/fredwescoe@gmail.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/fredwescoe@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br />
