"Sorry, an uncorrectable error has occurred, semaphore invalid or not allocated. Press ENTER to abort the application"
Semaphore?!?! No wonder my work PC is going so slowly.
Actually, I think this is a little seen error in Lotus Notes. Notes (which we're sadly moving away from) is actually an extraordinarily stable application - especially compared to the MS and Adobe applications we're moving towards.
This came up as I was quitting the program anyway.
Typical lunch pail type I picked up
and today looking over some possible resto ideas I unearthed this from my work table.
its not bad a small crack on one of the mount ears but still solid .
This RSA lamp pattern made by many manufacturers
from L.S. Brach Mfg. and ADLAKE and others .
But looking at the cast info the numerals looked rather familiar
the same font type that Stiles uses from his casting house.
I just might have to strip this and look but so far only cast numbers had been found .
* P in circle cast onto handle was found
this could possibly be Plymouth Foundry , Indiana .

Built 1867 as Wesleyan, using Melbourne bluestone brought to SA as ballast in wheat ships, architect W Deverall. Extensions (transept, vestry & schoolroom ) foundation stone 20 Aug 1877 by Mrs George Shorney, designed by W Pett of Kent Town, re-opened 20 Jan 1878, Methodist after Union 1900, Uniting 1977.
“In 1865 a small preaching place and a Sunday school were opened at the corner of Hall street, and Woolnough road when the neighbourhood was a dreary waste of spinifex and reeds, and when the houses were few and poorly built.” [Register 6 Oct 1927]
“A neat little church was opened recently by the Wesleyans. It faces the road to the Semaphore, and is built of Melbourne stone, with brick dressings, porch and bell turret. The dimensions are 30 feet by 35 feet, and being 20 feet from the floor to the ceiling, it is capable of being doubled in length at a future time. It cost, with the land, £650, and is a credit to the neighborhood.” [Advertiser 7 Jan 1868]
“For the past ten years the Wesleyans residing in the locality of the Semaphore have been worshipping in a neat little gothic chapel, erected in 1867 on the south-eastern side of the road to the beach, and at that time it was considered a sufficiently commodious building, seating as it did some 170; but with the increase of population, and the added strength of the denomination, it has been found necessary to make extensive additions to the main building. . . The transept will be similar in design to the church . . . and will accommodate with the present building 400 people. At the back of this the schoolroom is to be erected . . . and in addition two classrooms.” [Register 21 Aug 1877]
“The Rev. S. Knight complimented the congregation on the improvements that had been made. He thought the first promoters of the church when they had it built did not believe the Semaphore would grow so rapidly as it had. In his opinion Glenelg had not developed so rapidly as the Semaphore, and from all appearances if they made the most economical use of their sitting room the present building would be large enough for six years. One thing he was sure the Wesleyans had been doing all over the colony, and that was erecting their churches twice over, much to the amusement of the spectators and their own astonishment. (Laughter.) They had old chapels lying like wrecks about the country.” [Chronicle & Weekly Mail 26 Jan 1878]
Semaphore Methodist Church. . . The story of this Church commenced in the days when LeFevre Peninsula was a dreary waste of spinifex, reeds, and drifting sand. Dwellings were few and far between, and of a humble description, the more populous part in the early days being Glanville way, clustered round the drink-shop (you could hardly call it an hotel). Of roads and footpaths there were none worthy of the name. . . From March till July, 1867, trustee meetings were held in the old Port Adelaide Methodist schoolroom. . . the purchase of land and the erection of a building were decided upon, the honorary architect being Mr. Diverall, and £100 cash being in hand. . . The first little church was opened for public worship in 1867, being then the only church on that side of the water.” [Aust Christian Commonwealth 14 Sep 1917]
The end of the line ... The railway reached Bomaderry on 2 June 1893.
New South Wales' south coast railway was to proceed beyond Bomaderry into Nowra. They even built the bridge over the Shoalhaven River and named a street in the town Station Street!.
Then in an early win for the roads lobby, the bridge was converted to handle road traffic, and the railway line went no further than a bridge over Bomaderry Creek and a paddock on the banks of the river. Only the formation remains today.
The line to the (top) right is a short privately owned branch that leads to a paper factory so as well as commuter traffic, the line sees regular goods traffic.
Looking south towards the Semaphore bandstand and jetty. The Municpal Tramways Trust (MTT) Rotunda was built in 1919 and demolished in the 1970's. At the base of the Rotunda was a fist aid room. The Hindmarsh Town Band and SA Railways Band were regularly heard at both Semaphore and Largs Rotundas.

This tubular post semaphore stood on the Dovecliffe to Rockingham section of the branch from Wombwell Main Junction. At the time of my photograph in 1981 this section had been out of use for a few years and the signal, Dovecliffe's home for trains off the Rockingham section, was redundant. Both aspects have gone from the arm but the ladder remains.

Shows water tower, Timeball Tower and side shows including ferris wheel and merry go round. From a souvenir memento prepared for H.M. Special Service Squadron's visit to South Australia, March 10 to 15, 1924.

Set up 1856 on LeFevre’s Peninsula, location soon named Semaphore, demolished Dec 1937 (leaving Time Ball tower) after signal station had been transferred to Outer Harbor Feb 1937. [Photo from State Library of SA: B 29158 (1920)]
“The Collector of Customs. . . considered a Signal Station on Lefevre's Peninsula preferable to the semaphore on O'Hallorau Hill, as it would convey intelligence of vessels rounding Troubridge Shoal, as well as from all other parts of the Gulf.” [Adelaide Observer 24 Sep 1853]
“The French Barque Cora. . . made a lengthy passage from the Mauritius of 45 days. . . and brought up to an anchor abreast the Semaphore Signal Station in the evening. She was neither boarded by the reporter or the pilot until the following morning, owing to the boisterous state of the weather.” [Advertiser 18 Oct 1858]
“The Admella, steamer, arrived abreast the Semaphore Signal Station, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, having during her trip round from Melbourne fully tested her steaming power during the fury of a strong north-west gale.” [Advertiser 16 May 1859]
“It is the function of the semaphore station, from which the district takes its name, to record the arrival and departure of all interstate sod overseas ships using Port Adelaide or Outer Harbor. In the case of incoming overseas vessels, which use the pilot service, the .station communicates with the pilot, instructing him when to leave for the Semaphore anchorage to board the ship. Another of its functions is to signal the state of the tides.” [Advertiser 4 Mar 1936]
“the old Semaphore signal station had deteriorated beyond repair, and as the old site was no longer suitable for signal station purposes, owing to the increased illuminations in the vicinity, it had been decided not to reconstruct the station at the Semaphore, but to transfer it to a site at the Outer Harbor.” [Advertiser 8 Jul 1936]
“Semaphore signal station was used to signal to ships for the last time today. The new tower at Outer Harbor is now completed, and will be used for the first time tomorrow. The little white cabin at the end of a short pier which has served as the look-out, and which has been a landmark ever since Semaphore has been Semaphore-in fact, it gave the town its name, has been the victim of dry rot and attacks by white ants. This, with the need for a more modern station, caused the Harbors Board to move the station to Outer Harbor.” [News 4 Feb 1937]
“Within the next few days a beginning will be made on the demolition of the old Harbors Board signal station at Semaphore which has not been used since the new 50-ft. concrete tower at Outer Harbor was opened in February this year. The Semaphore signal station, from which Semaphore got its name, is associated with the earliest history of the district, and, because of its historical interest, a number of Semaphore residents asked to have the landmark preserved when the transfer to Outer Harbor was made, but the unsafe condition of the structure made it impossible for the request to be granted.” [Advertiser 8 Dec 1937]
37 109 reversing the stock of a summer Saturday train from Sheffield into the sidings at Blackpool North - July 1982.
Foundation stone 27 Nov 1882 by Mr L L Furner, designed by D Williams, Jnr with schoolroom beneath chapel, opened 20 Mar 1883, final service 26 Mar 2000, restored 2013-14. Earliest services in wooden chapel in Turton St, opened 25 Nov 1878, later used as a school.
“A few months ago, circumstances forced upon the attention of the Semaphore Baptist church and congregation the necessity of securing a new place of worship combining in itself the following advantages:— 1. A better and more prominent site. 2. A more substantial and permanent building. 3. Enlarged accommodation. The present wooden chapel was built four years ago in a narrow side street. During this winter it has been found only large enough for ordinary morning congregations, and it became a serious question how friends who visit the seaside could be accommodated in the summer. . . The building is to be constructed of Dry Creek stone, with cement dressings, and the style is that often adopted by Baptists and generally known as ‘tabernacle style’.” [Advertiser 28 Nov 1882]
The semaphore signals at Grimsby Marsh Junction, which mark the end of the Grimsby & Immingham light railway where it joins the Cleethorpes to Barnetby line, are seen on 1st December 2014.
These semaphores, and those located on the 'light railway' around the West Marsh/Pyewipe area, are the only semaphore signals to remain in Grimsby.
Rustic Semaphores greet me as I arrive Ganga Dham stn on the Bahraich Gonda Metre Gauge line.
There existed another hand of the signal, total three, depicting the existence of a third line and second platform here at Ganga Dham. Over time, third line was abandoned and uprooted, and so was done with the signal. This was the story with most of the stations on the GD-BRK line....
Another strange thing to note in the picture was the open gate of the level crossing while the train passing through it.
