I saw a few of these still being used in Dublin in the early 90's. There is a signal pattern used in Mexico where the green flashes several times before going to amber and then red. I think old Russian signals did this too. Ever see one of these?

@MRFRUITCAKE98 Yeah, I technically run a red light everytime I do that LOL.

I wish the states did this system
-
now we don't use tin lantern now we either use halogen or LED
-
in the uk we don't change gear cause we change gear when we stop then start setting off at red and amber, even though were not supposed to

In the '50s, the F.A.O. Schwartz toy emporium sold little English battery-operated models of this one. The models were about six inches tall had the same alternate black and white pattern that your Plessy Tin Lantern has. They used flashlight bulbs painted red, yellow and green. They were powered by 2 size C batteries. The sequencing of the lights was the same as you show here, and it was controlled not by a timer but by a child turning a control knob. "Off" was a two-click gap in the sequence.

I really lucked out. A restaurant that had European decor was closing and I managed to get a deal on this old UK signal - in really rough shape, but in good enough condition to destore.
