Union Switch & Signal Model 14 Interlocking Machine
This one's in kit form, and the instruction sheet is missing. Just kidding. I do have my work cut out for me rebuilding this. I started by trying to clean up the pieces and then am painting them to preclude rusting while I try to figure out the subtleties and put it all back together.
I apologize if my terminology is off in some cases. I simply don't know what some of the parts are called. Tell me and I'll fix it.
This Model 14 came from WALDO, Jersey City, New Jersey. (Chart is a link to Mark Bej's site)

Contact bed. Several "Quick Switches" here but sadly the one at the far left has broken. The rightmost "Quick Switch" is missing the spring and cotter pin (at least I think it was a spring and cotter pin) and so probably i'll combine the hardware.

Another shot of the contact bed. Note the piece of broken Bakelite in the left foreground.
