The feedof the carbons ismost perfect, conse-quently a perfectlysteady light is theresult. The lamp isinclosed in a neat andsolid case, and is soarranged that it canbe turned to anyangle desired ; forthis purposethe lamp and case are carried by a rotary platform, and so arranged that it can be workedby the wheelsman or pilot from his post.
