I came across a Darley D200 still in operation earlier today in Gassaway, West Virginia. It's using its internal timer mechanism, which was running very sloppy. From a green signal, you'd get green/yellow, then green/yellow/red, then green/red, then just plain red.
Cleveland had at least a hundred Darleys like this, although by 1965, they had by-passed the internal controllers and connected them to pole-mounted controllers (usually GE or Eagle controllers). I watched in horror as one of these, at the corner of W. 110th and Detroit, shorted out and caught fire while in operation, in early 1974.
