Somewhere I read a British article from the early 1950's on an American car and the writer referred to the "trafficator winkers". The button on the floor we call the "hi beam switch" the British called "anti-dazzle".British cars had trafficators for turn signals - small arms that popped out of the body and had a small light at the end. Autocar tested a 1953 Chrysler New Yorker and pointed out the "winking direction indicators" (turn signals) built into the "fin-like ends of the rear wings" (fenders or quarter panels on the west side of the Atlantic).Most British cars had a pull switch on the fascia (instrument panel) to activate the starter."Start"BillVancouver, BC
