SIGNAL WIRE ADJUSTER HANDLE EX TAUNTON EAST JUNCTION BOX ship-zone-k This pouch holder is inThis cast iron Great Western Railway signal wire adjuster was used by the signalman when the wire between the signal lever and the signal required adjustment due to contraction or expansion.

Recovered from Taunton East Junction by the signalman upon closure.
