Optical instruments in a thick box with a layer of a smooth black material around wood, with some wear along the edges and corners. Centered on the lid is a logo reading, "Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. / Rochester. N.Y.", which circles around, "U.S.A." Inside the box is a purple velvet lining as well as various optical instruments made of silver and black metal. There are various engravings on the different optical tools, including "Bausch&Lomb Optical Co. Rochester.N.Y. U.S." and "D.R.G.M Sklar Germany." Box dimensions are 7 1/2" x 4 1/4" x 2 3/8".

This display of specially developed scientific instruments is at Rockefeller University in Manhattan. Sometimes what's already available isn't good enough for cutting edge science. Rockefeller University participated in Open House New York in 2019.

The staff instruments in the station's safeworking room, or 'staff hut'. The small mechanical signal box is a separate building on the platform nearby, and is operated by the station employee, or by train crews when the station is unattended.
For anyone who doesn't know about it, I will try to explain electric staff working in a few paragraphs! It is a token system for single lines. On single lines there are "crossing" locations with two or more tracks, where opposing trains can 'cross' or pass each other. Between crossing locations there is only one track ("single line"), and the purpose of token working is to ensure that there is only one train at a time on that section of track, in order to avoid the possibility of collision.
In token working the driver of a train must be in possession of the correct token for the single line section. The token is inscribed with the names of the locations at each end of the section to identify it. The token gives the authority for a train to occupy that single line section, and it must be carried on the train while it is in that section.
In electric staff working, the token is rod shaped and called a staff, and there are a number of staffs for each section. The staffs are normally held within a pair of staff "instruments", one at each end of the section. The instruments are electrically connected, and when a staff is withdrawn from one of the instruments, they both become locked and no more staffs can be withdrawn. When that staff is returned to either instrument, both instruments are unlocked and another staff can then be withdrawn. This ensures that only one staff can be out of the pair of instruments at any one time, and so only one train can carry the staff and be authorised to enter the section at any time.
Phew!
It's Instrument-a-Day time again! Every February I make a new homemade instrument each day.
Kicking off Instrument-a-day 2012 is the Westminster Doorbell, made of a couple of steel rods suspended over a guitar pickup. I'm learning how to get more overtones out of it, but I haven't really figured it out yet.

Pauline Black and the Selecter were playing in Enfield Town park yesterday. Got some great shots of them.
A very cool looking piece of test equipment and like the rest of the Supremes, not only made to function, but made to look good as well. These units could test tubes as well as function as an analyzer to check voltages etc of the radio under test.
Hammerton Station signal box's instruments are contained within the station buildings with the "signal hut" containing the lever frame visible outside through the window.
Seen in the photo, working from left to right are, Annunciator ? Signal lamp indicators, Block instrument to Cattal, Manual timed release (Welwyn control), key token instrument to Poppleton, phone concentrator, TRB, Trust / computer, fax machine
Following a disappointing defeat at the Stadium of Light I consoled myself on the way home by knocking another box off the list.
Hammerton, not a major railway centre, is located on the Harrogate loop between Knaresborough & York. The 14 miles between Knaresborough and Poppleton on the outskirts of York is single line with a 1.5 mile section of double track in the middle. Hammerton is the box at the York end of the double track section and works absolute block to Cattal just 1.5 miles away and key token to Poppleton.
The signal box here however is not a signal box at all, it is a “signal hut” !
The instruments and signallers accommodation are located in the station building with the lever frame accommodated outside the office in a beautifully crafted lockable timber housing.
In days of yore the signal box also served as the booking office and the signalmans duties would have included the sale of tickets. Erected by the North Eastern Railway in 1914. As well as controlling the transition from single to double line the signaller also has a gated manualy operated level crossing to attend to.
