For my purposes, I'm interested in the lower half of the pictured panel --

That is only one of two panels on the Honeywell processors. There was
another one on the other CPU door. There is are three rollers with an
encoding switchs to change what the lights were displaying. Moving the
roller changed the text that was visible in the window below the light
bulbs and told you what each light meant.
