John,
I conclude by this statement
at this date you are inclined to disregard the visual evidence presented as to the non-existence of the Banner "Swift" Patent Type signal at the time of 1881-82 on the DSP&P, the Colorado Central, and the D&RG; also the Greeley, Salt Lake & Pacific (Sunset 1884-), as well as the written research of previous authors well versed in such matters of Railway Signalling development in the USA.
Perhaps you missed my prevvious post directing you to ...
The Visual : [

The Written :
Trains and Technology: The American Railroad in the Nineteenth Century, Volume 4 pg179 and a link to that book

There is also visual correlation that the Como Depot didn't have an Order Board until the time following the construction of the Como Eating House (the still standing Hotel). No doubt!
Will you ignore that as well?
