Signal Boxes On the WSX

Can anyone tell me how a lever-frame signal box can control a track curcuit layout e.g. Gillingham



Thanks

I am not really sure that I understand the basis of this question. Is there something specific about this common situation on which you need clarification please?

Quite simple really. Attached to the bottom of each lever is a circuit controller, in essence a large multi-pole electric switch. Working the lever works the switch and the rest is done by electricity rather than pulling a mechanical wire or rod.

So it's basicly like turning on a light switch! But inturn connected to the Track circuit system.
