WWII SIGNAL LAMP

Morse signalling lamp with a very narrow beam and a Morse key unit which can be mounted on a Helios tripod, like Item A1450, or staked in the ground.
For night time use filters are provided, also an aperture plate to reduce the light output.
The first time this model was produced was during the fist World War designed by George Lucas.

Your comments:

  • I have two of these sets, and use them every year to demonstrate Morse signalling to Scouts at the annual Jamboree On The Air. I also have a small number of spare bulbs, which are becoming as rare as hens' teeth.
