Abstract

(1) SINCE the outbreak of the war there has been an urgent demand by our airs naval, and military forces for information relating to the range of searchlight projectors. We therefore welcome this translation of M. Jean Reys work. It is an open secret that during the course of the war very great improvements have been made in the manufacture of the carbons for projector lamps, and that they give a flux of light for a given power consumption from three to five times as great as that obtained from the old carbons.
