ADDITIONAL CANDLEPOWER TESTS OF 300-MILLIMETER, CLOSED-TOP, DRUM LENSES

Abstract

This report describes photometric tests of U. S. Coast Guard Type 1954, 300-millimeter, pressedglass closed-top drum lenses. Lens-to-lamp ratios with a 6.2-volt 0.46 ampere marine signal lamp are given for five randomly selected lenses. For the same five lenses the mean horizontal beam candlepower is given with five of each of the following marine signal lamps: 12-volt, 0.77 ampere; 12-volt, 2.03 ampere; and 12-volt, 3.05 ampere. The effects of lens and lamp variations on performance are discussed. (Author)
