GWR DISCONNECTED WORKMAN Enamel Signal Lever Reminder Great Western Railway WORKMAN DISCONNECTED Signal Box Lever Reminder Badge A vitreous enamel reminder collar to be placed on a Signal Box lever when maintenance work is being carried out. It measures 3 inches diameter. The following is an extract from the Great Western Railway General Appendix to the Rule Book dated 1936: " BADGES FOR PLACING OVER LEVERS IN LOCKING FRAMES " Reversible metal badges with the words "Disconnected" and "Workman" respectively are provided in Signal-boxes for attaching to any lever when disconnected to act as a reminder to the Signalman and thus prevent possible injury to himself by his pulling it over in the usual way, or to indicate to the Signalman that workmen are engaged at the point or signal operated by that lever. Before moving this lever the Signalman must inform the workmen, when in close proximity to the box, that he is about to do so, but when they are engaged beyond speaking distance the Signalman must, before moving the lever right over, give two or three small movements to indicate to the workmen that the lever is about to be reversed. The Signal Department man will be responsible for placing the badges on the levers
