westinghouse brake signal london tube pounds pressure2

I've seen this device under the London tubes which run via Liverpool Street station. These tubes are very old and are a bit worn out. I dont know what this device is but I spotted the following written on it:

westinghouse brake signal

pounds pressure per sq. inch

So, it may be some kind of pressure measuring device.

    Its a brake cylinder pressure gauge the reading indicates brakes applied. Higest application pressure would be 55lbs PSI ((emergency appliocation). The old LT training was good... 24 years after I left the tube I still remember
