The lever frame parts we can supply consist of frame (expandable)
and lever with
catch handle/block, also 90deg. angle crank and "tee" crank for
mechanically operated signals or pointwork. There is also a pivot base
available All parts are cast from whitemetal with pivot rods etc. being of
3/16 inch diameter Bright mild steel rod. All parts have been produced as fairly
substantial castings and are sufficiently robust enough to operate signals and
points through cranks and wire rods (we use 1/16" (1.6mm) diameter gas
welding wire which is available in approx. yard lengths, either black or
copper coated (recommended as it holds its shape and is not as soft as the black
variety), if pointwork is a long way from the lever operating it then the cast
lever may be too soft for the pull required and may bend, if only a few points
are involved then a brass or steel replacement lever could be substituted. The
images below illustrate the various parts, these can be supplied as shown or we
can
supply them assembled either singly or in banks ready to install.
