When I worked for a (Sydney) VW dealer, 50 or so years ago, we called them semaphore arms.68AutoBug wrote:wilderness wrote:hey everyone, just wondering if anyone has heard of or knows of anyone repairing/reconditioning semaphores??
they were called trafficators...
never ever called semaphores... except by the Americans...
whose beetles never ever had them...
so, naturally, never knew what to call them...
they were also used on many European and UK made cars...
during the 50's and called trafficators...

It's true, it's true. We have semaphores all over the blinking place up here (no pun intended 😂)Phil74Camper wrote:.....the US-market Beetles DID have semaphores, up until 1955, when they were replaced by flashing blinkers. Australian models had semaphores until halfway through 1960.
