Attached find a number of variations of what is presumably SAR / SAS tool checks ?
1) Can anybody provide anymore information regarding these and what they were used for?
2) Also, is there a general reference site/list identifying the various abbreviations? eg "FTL", "FETL", "CUL", "KBY" (Kimberly?), "PR/LA" etc.

Re: SAR / SAS Tool checks
Thanks for your recent postings Stephen - it is nice always to see something different in relation to the the railways - especially in terms of all the associated paraphernalia.

Re: SAR / SAS Tool checks
Hi,
I was told that these were placed on a big board at the depot and then as the artisans arrived they removed the token with their number. At the official starting time the board was locked by the pay office and anybody arriving late would have to go to the pay office to get his token and his wage was docked by the time he was late. At the end of the shift they were "thrown" back onto the board.
I think they were also used when drawing tools out of the stores, the clerk retained the token to tell who had the tools. Each fitter had their own personal set of general tools so this would have been for specialised tools.
