A first strip includes a pair of spaced apart, laterally aligned red markings for providing an external visual indication of the circuit breaker CLOSED position, and includes a pair of spaced apart, laterally aligned white markings for providing an external visual indication that the operating mechanism is in its TRIPPED position. The second strip is positioned beneath the first strip and is of a greater length, and has a pair of spaced apart, laterally aligned green markings for external visual indication of the operating mechanism OPEN position. The first and second strips are movable relative to each other and a lost motion connection is provided between the second strip and the handle.
