Inspired from this news item www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-51470599posted on another forum (WNXX) did LT and successors ever use electromechanical flap indicators such as those made by Solari or Krone or other makers - or even made in house - for passenger information display ? |

Only uses I can think of are: - original set number displays on ‘73 Stock - original platform clock displays at Hounslow West (1975), Hatton Cross, Heathrow Central   © Copyright London Transport Museum |

The comment about clocks reminded me of the escalators to the Central line at Tottenham Court Road which had such clocks. I think that it can be seen towards the beginning of the film American Werewolf in London.

Yes, and there was a similar one above the top of the Piccadilly line escalators at King's Cross - I remember it appearing in news footage of the fire, displaying the time it stopped when the flashover occurred.
