I'll apologise in advance for this intrusion but, I couldn't resist chipping into the discourse on trafficator arms.
Watch the little attached video of a Scammell Pioneer 6X6 Heavy Recovery Tractor.

Ignore The RAF livery on this one, our REME detachment always had drab olive versions. As you will see, these are not Dinky toys, 2 MPG on tarmac less off road. My point is look towards the rear of the cab, Near Side you will see the beginnings of a white metal trafficator arm with a red flash on it. This was activated by a sliding rod on the inside rear of the cab and it was not illuminated. It was judged to be OK on 1950 roads!!! However, it wasn't the sort of beast that private car drivers chose to mess with.
