Ratio junction signal: from kit no.476

[philsandy]

 

I have built ratio signals before but not  a junction signal. The instructions are up to the usual Ratio standard, vague to put it mildly.

The 4 cranks are super glued to the two 16mm long wires, so each wire/crank assembly can rotate as one.

My question is are the 4 operating wires (1 & 4 from the semaphore arms, and 2 & 3 to the levers) also super glued in the cranks, or as I suspect left free, so the crank can pivot around the wire?

I haven't built a Ratio junction signal but looking at your picture I would have thought that all four wires - 1 to 4 - should be left unglued as they will need to effectively rotate in the hole into which they need to be pushed.
