H. Gaston has invented the Stop and Direction the same time with the front and rear. Right and left lights are controlled by a push button of the same nature as a horn button, and is located just inside qf the wood on the horizontal bar of steering wheel, which brings it directly under the right, or left thumb at any instance. There is no getting rattled or confused on these, and the stop signal is controlled by an automatic switch off of the brake. The one great feature o fthis light is that with one on your car, I if it is enclosed, will make it possible for you to give your signals frym the inside of car without letting down your side window., You may do all your signal work without moving your hands: from a driving position. This also applies the same way on all open cars that have curtains, or any kind of weather protection. Thera are no moving parts in this signal, no lever» to work,' no cogs or wheels to get put of order. The whole light, includ ing everything, is to be packed ready for placing on cars, com-, plete in one carton. It excels them all in beauty, simplciity and protection to the public. It not only tells the motorist behind, but the ones on the side streets, the ones coming toward you, th e ' pedestrians crossing from curb to curb. It is for day or night use. "Rc Le Rite" Signal Light an<{ dust, mud and water tight, tell the motorist without fright when you stop, turn left of right , is always there in public sight. Signal, which covers the field better than any one which has ever come on the market, and it will hold ita own for some time for he has left no loop-holes to be worked on. > The signal case is made up of three compartments, one lamp behind each lens; a spreader between each prevents the light from one shining in the other, which docs away With confusion. The lenses are in three standard colors: red for the Btop light, green for the right, and amber for the left. Each lens has the letters raised on the glass at the outaidc and is enameled around to give it a background, letting the light shine through, as you can see in the picture. There is just enough color above and be low the two side-lights to allow the letters to be distinguished at a distance. * The stop signal haa only a gtrip on each side of letterS for colors to show, which makes it easier for the public to see. A twenty-one candle power bulb is behind each lens, so as to give a powerful light, that will draw the attention of everyone.
