Quite as satisfactory, however, were a few tests whoseresults were the exact opposite of what was to be expected. Someof the exceptional results are mentioned below and are of interestas showing a few of the possible variations in the behavior of thelamps. Lamp 161, rated 190 watts at 220 volts, and lamps 146 and 171,rated 120 watts at 55 volts, were smashed under series 1 were the only standard lamps whose filaments were not brokenwhen the bulbs were smashed.
