While still in Iowa, I legally, with permission, acquired a searchlight
signal that was to be scrapped. When cleaning it out, there was the
original instruction pamphlet! This particular signal was a type H-2
Searchlight Signal manufactured by the Union Switch & Signal Company in
Swissvale, PA. The instruction manual was printed in September of 1941.
Also inside were two company material tags with a record of dates the signal
was either inspected and/or had the bulb changed. The first entry is
5/15/1959, and the last entry is 2/21/1990. I had forgotten I had this
until this discussion arose.
