Need Informsation on Roedding Taillight Accessory

Post by DontKnowMuch » Thu Aug 01, 2019 11:51 am

I am looking for information of the Roedding Tailight shown in this ad in Motor West magazine in 1919
Roedding Ad - Motor West 1919 Dec 15 Page 4.jpg
This was patented in 1918

The Left/Right/Stop/Back are on a drum that rotates inside the light housing and are controlled by a switch mounted on the steering column. They have a spade mount and there is a small light bulb inside the drum. What is the significance of the white and blue lens on the ends?

Please let me know if you have one of these accessory lights and if you have any information on them.
Thanks
