This is a specialised subject which has been well covered by books in recent years. However, the considerable regional variation in design and operation of signals requires that each part of the country be looked at in greater detail. Here, in colour, we have a pictorial study of signal boxes and signalling in the Western Region. For anyone interested in the subject, this is an excellent source of coloured pictures depicting the interiors of boxes and the multiplicity of equipment to be found there. The photographs include block instruments, frames, repeaters, release plungers, token working equipment, telephones, the train register, clocks etc. All are well captioned.
