In addition to the lanterns which we have furnished in the past, and which have met with marked success, we now show styles having a modification in construction through which the flame may be adjusted from the outside of the lantern. This feature combined with our improved ventilation makes a lantern that not only is easy of operation but is capable of withstanding the most severe service to which it is liable to be subjected.
[Editor's note: lantern signals are shown in the original catalog but are omitted here since they are shown on a separate page.] |
 Railway Lanterns "Adams" Steel Guard Patented
The vertical guards are cut from heavy sheet steel. The bail ears and the flat steel guards are of one piece of metal, the former being twisted to give it strength and rigidity. The top ring is made of sheet steel, angled, adding strength to the frame. The form of the angled ring at points where hinge and catch are attached, admits of retaining the full strength of the ring. The vertical guards cannot be pulled out of the lantern hoop because of the ears on their inner sides, which pass through the hoop and are bent over on the inside of the hoop and soldered. The lower ends of the vertical guards are pointed to prevent the lantern slipping off the car roof when the train is in motion. The bail stands erect when the lantern is not in use, but can be laid down if desired. The top and bottom are stamped from one piece of sheet steel and cannot be bent or crushed out of shape.
