Mounting Two forms of lantern body can be supplied. One is top entry ¾ in. gas, the other is sloping side entry 1 in. gas barrel unthreaded. In the latter case a ¼ in. Allen grub screw locks the lantern to the bracket.


Lantern Body Each body is made of die-cast light alloy and consists of two detachable wings, a main body casting and a top, which, in the case of the sloping side entry form, is a light alloy spinning. An earthing screw is provided.


Lampholder Three forms of lampholder can be used, BC, three-slot BC and ES.


Optical System Each wing carries six identical facet mirrors, therse are silvered and lead backed and held in position by lead clips. In the event of damage, replacement is simple.

The light distribution is very good and the glare ratio conforms to the recommendations of the M.O.T. Final Report 1937, though it is necessary, when used with H.P.M.V. Lamps, to replace the four lower mirror facets with pot opal facets. If this is not done, the directional intensity ratio is about 5.5.


Focusing The lampholder is carried on a bridge piece which slides on two vertical rods. One rod is marked with the correct focal positions for the various wattages of lamp.


Weathering Finish The light alloy is spcially selected for its resistance to corrosion. Further protection is obtained by the use of a suitable primer, undercoat and matt aluminium top coat.


Erection Instructions Full erection and focusing instructions are packed with each lantern.
