I'm gonna venture a guess on #2. How about it meaning LL, for left lane?

I suppose if lane choice had to be communicated back then, it would tell the starting line crew what he had chosen.

Does "leavers lose" ring a bell?

"2. In drag racing, what device did LL refer to?"

How is that a device?

So it is not a line lock?

I could be wrong on this one but the early Chrondek lights that had a stage light and a green were called LL trees (for leavers lose). They didnt count down, the starter triggered the green with a switch box.

... okay makes sense ... so the device was the new tree with stage lights.

Thanks,

Jay, your figure doesnt ring a bell with me....any hints?
