Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-002664

A manual lever frame located at ground level, used to operate railway points (switches) and signals within a small area, such as a siding or a junction. This apparatus allows a single operator to control movements locally without the need for a signal box. Ground frames are often found in less busy areas of a railway network.
