The most common type of four-aspect signal has four lenses arranged from top to bottom as follows :yellow, green, yellow, red. Modern LED [light-emitting diode] signals with just two lenses can show all four aspects. The lower lens is capable of displaying a red, yellow or green light. Not all lines use four-aspect signalling-three or two aspects are used where the headway and line speed allow.  1, record 2, English, - four%2Daspect%20signal

The Great Western Railway automatic warning system developed circa 1906 is very similar to the British Rail one, the main difference being that is used a contact ramp rather than non-contact magnets. This ramp was located on the approach to the distant signal, and pushed up slightly higher than the level of the rail on a plunger mounted on the engine. If the ramp was energized, that gave the green signal. If the ramp was de-energized, that gave the yellow signal.  2, record 5, English, - contact%20ramp

El cocodrilo es una pieza metálica aislada de la vía, pero conectada con un manantial de energía eléctrica y con las señales o semáforos. A su vez, la locomotora tiene en la parte inferior un elemento eléctrico en forma de cepillo metálico, y cuando éste frota el cocodrilo, se establece un contacto que, en el caso de estar la vía ocupada, acciona un dispositivo sonoro para llamar la atención del conductor poco antes de que el semáforo se presente a su vista.  1, record 5, Spanish, - coccodrilo

V-bar : Flight Director Indicator... The V-bar command indicator is a pair of yellow, wedge-shaped V-bars that move up or down to command a climb or descent, and roll left or right to command a bank. The flight director system commands the V-bars to capture and track the selected heading or radio signals; or to maintain a desired pitch angle, glidepath, or an optimum speed during SC(speed command) operation. To satisfy the commands, the aircraft is maneuvered so that the airplane symbol is flown into the V-bars until the two are aligned. Input signals to the V-bars depend upon the mode of operation. The V-bars are biased from view by the instrument failure warning system; when loss of signal occurs, or sensing circuits fail that are associated with the selected mode of operation. They are also out of view when the mode selector control is in the OFF position.  3, record 6, English, - tendency%20bar

The multi-aspect signalling commonly used in the UK today is a 4-aspect system. It works similarly to the 3-aspect system except that two warnings are provided before a red signal, a double yellow and a single yellow. This has two purposes. First, it provides early warnings of a red signal for higher speed trains or it can allow better track occupancy by shortening the length of the blocks. The high speed trains have advanced warning of red signals while the slower speed trains can run closer together at 50Km/h or so under "double yellows".  1, record 7, English, - multi%2Daspect%20signalling
