Jordan. I found some photos of the Signal Buzzer Switch and Lanyard Setup for the 2K1/2K2 Wireless Boxes. This one is the switch itself. A simple teardrop shaped cover over the spring loaded contacts that are kept in the open position by the spring until the lanyard is pulled. The Lanyard is originally a white cotton heavy sash cord which ages into a weird reddish brown over time. it is looped through the switch plunger ring and clipped back against itself with a common metal cord/cable crimp.

I can guarantee these stitches were common items in the GM 100, 150, 200 and 250 Series Transit Busses they built well into the 1980's. The buses with the green tinted windows along the upper sides and that always smelled of diesel fuel inside. If you know of a transit bus graveyard anywhere nearby, definitely worth checking out.
