Annett's key
Made By Frank Saxby
The Annett's key takes its name from its inventor, J. E. Annett of the London Brighton & South Coast Railway. Annett patented his design in 1875; in 1881 that patent was bought out by Saxby and Farmer, one of the principal British companies of signalling contractors at the time.
The work on the Yard Ground frame is progressing well all the cranks have now been fitted to the base plate Feb 2011 |  |
