The signal may be given tion which has a clasp action upon the wrist or by the wearer of the device simply b y dropping arm, is preferably made in sections connected his hand down in a natural position, rendering together by a spring hinge, and each of which it unnecessary to place the `saine in an awkward 0 sections carries a prismatic reflecting glass prefposition such as with the back of the wrist to 10 erably red in color. the driver in the rear.
