Signal Fact 31
In 1863 Charles Spagnoletti, Telegraph Superintendent of the Great Western Railway, devised a block instrument in which a disc swung to show the legend Train on Line or Line Clear in a little window.
Instruments of this type were still used by British Railways well through that organisation's life span!
