The banner drying. The curves were done with

The wigwag at rest. I elected to restore in
the fashion that the Great Northern and Northern Pacific did theirs - a
lower quadrant mounted in a pedestal. This was the same way that the wigwag
was done in the Lemony Snickets movie. Crossbucks were mounted
to the top of the mechanism box as was the norm on the GN and NP
