Abstract
A translucent indicator drum is rotatable to sequentially position messages representing events, which may occur at remote points in a vehicle, adjacent a viewing window. A rotary switch operated by the drum cooperates with a number of event sensors to energize a buzzer upon the occurrence of an event not represented by the message adjacent the viewing window and to energize a lamp when the drum is rotated to position the message representing the occurred event adjacent the viewing window.
