In Jones's time, a clear board would have been white...the white light indicating clear was just being changed to green on many US roads about this time. The bar in the corner indicates the Johnson bar in the lowest position to get maximum stroke on the cut-off; such an engineer who did this needlessly was referred to as a "rapper." [this was long before the advent of Poop Doggy dogg, of course.] I remember an oldtime steam engineer working with Ross Rowland in our district saying Rowland also was a rapper. The sounds made by this practice were impressive, but it caused needless wear and tear on the machinery [not to mention wear and tear on the poor fireboy!].
