question

Hi everyone , wondering if anyone can answer a question , i went to my local steam rally today and there i saw a bedford QL , the question is that on the nearside front of the cab side just under the level of the windscreen was an white and red arm that folded downwards into a bracket , the arm looked like a trafficator arm , it was only fitted to the nearside , what is this arm and how and what was it used for ???

It's a simple traficator as you said, the driver can use his own arm on the drivers side. There is a small lever above the dash to raise the arm when turning left.

thanks for your reply , i,d never seen one before and today i eventually got round to changing the month on my mvt calender and there,s a QL with one on there aswell ! thanks i,ll know what it is next time i see one
