Re: SER1 Lucas Semaphore switch

In fact you are both right - sorry!


 From http://www.bobmckay.co.uk/dirhazlights.html

"A tell-tale warning must be fitted and this can be an audible or  
visual device. If one or more direction indicators on each side can be  
seen from the drivers seat, a tell-tale is not needed.

  Semaphore indicators must show an amber light to front and rear and  
must be fitted with an audible or visual tell tale. It may flash but is  
not required to do so."



So Martin is correct you could rely on the flasher unit making a  
ticking noise, and as Tom says, the fact that you can see the  
trafficators lets you off too.

Apologies for any confusion caused Diana.

We are now implementing a new ticketing system to improve response time  
and
reduce the chances of a request being missed. This does mean a change of
email address, but will help us to help you more efficiently. In future  
we
ask that new job requests be sent to nsmsjobs@xxxx.xx.xx.xx and general
queries/discussions to nsms@xxxx.xx.xx.xx.

Thanks for your cooperation - the NSMS Team.
