Signalling Record Society
Merstham 1978
Handel Kardas was interested in Sykes' Lock and Block system and was invited by a signalman friend to visit Merstham signal box. The recordings were made on separate, unsynchronised, super 8 films and reel to reel audio tapes which were left to the Bluebell Railway who stored them for a number of years before passing them to this Society.
The geographic location of Merstham can be seen on a current OS Map. The map will place this location at the centre of the map panel, roll the mouse over the icon(s) to reveal what they represent. Increase the scale using the scale selector on the left to separate closely positioned icons.
Please note that the film is partially silent and that it has not proved possible to fully match sound to visual.
