We have never had a signal for turning left and the stop signal is arm held as an L reversed (viewed following). In the 1950s the many English immigrants caused bemusement with their wavings. Trucks were fitted with large mechanical arms with a painted hand and the driver erected this in the straight or bent state.
I was bemused in one club run to see a lone chummy driver executing both right and left signals by leaning across the car. Incidentally I recommend a Michael Jackson glove to produce some chance of moderns taking notice.
The great advantage of hand signals is that motorists did not forget to cancel them, a constant issue with many electric signals.
I recently dismantled several Javelin doors but kept the winders as mechanism exactly the same as RP. I was surprised how relatively unworn drivers was, but the cars had trafficators.
