Mickey,

The Woodward has what is often called "frog-eye" cocking indicators.

The axels of the tumblers protrude through the sideplates, but rather than being flush with the outside, like most modern sidelocks, they extend perhaps 1/8 inch beyond the outside surface, housed in a tubelike extension of the sideplate. They do not move laterally, if that is what you are asking. They simply indicate whether the lock is cocked by the radial position of the gold line across the end of the axel, just like a modern sidelock. Why they were made to protrude I don't know. I suspect the design was to give the axel of the tumbler more support.

Thanks to everybody for your kind compliments. I am very fond of my Woodward.
