Notes,
Commentary, Restoration:
This was purchased as New-Old-Stock from Charlie at Traffic Signal Technology. It is a fiber optic X that illuminated red when powered. The lamp is a halogen bulb with voltage stepped down to 12V via a massive transformer. Despite my inability to photograph it clearly, it does illuminate clear and bright. Unlike the majority of these signals capable of operation bimodally this unit does not have the ability to alter the color of the X nor display a (green) arrow. Lights such as these would typically be used to perform lane control / open or closed status indications in commercial (bank drive through's, toolbooths) or temporary roadway modifications (IE lanes are open for northbound traffic in the morning but southbound traffic in the afternoon.
