This effects economy in lubrica-tion and also prevents grease from getting on the generatorwindings. This company also makes the headlight case and fixtures,which is known as the Sunbeam headlight. It is made foreither a 6-volt or a 32-volt system, the only difference being in. Adjustable Focusing Stand for Old Type Headlight Cases the incandescent light bulb. It has a heavy 12-in. mirror glassreflector slightly colored to make the light more never needs replating and does not tarnish. The lampsocket is adjustable, permitting the use and accurate focusingof any size incandescent round bulb or concentrated filamentnitrogen lamp up to 250 watts. The distance at which objectscan be discerned varies from 800 ft. to 2,000 ft., depending onthe type of lamp used. Number plates are provided at each side of the headlight,which are illuminated by a small bulb at night. The headlight case is substantially constructed of metal; thedoors are swung on heavy hinges and secured, when closed, bythumb screws, making it dust proof.
