Revo Prefect (Prismatic Bowl)

A gift from Darren, this REVO saw service in Old School Lane in Stoke Hammond. It was replaced because the gear box had rotted through - the entire bottom of the box has rusted away. As such, it'll probably have to be scrapped as it's probably unrepairable.

The bracket arm is in much better condition, but due to a lack of identifying marks, it's difficult to determine its manufacturer.

The REVO Prefect is complete, including the bulb focussing mechanism. The prismatic glass bowl was designed for mercury lamps, but it appears the lantern always used a GLS bulb. (A badly installed ES lampholder is now present.)
