The other Q-manufactured headlight is shown in the attached view of D-4-A 3103 at Galesburg in 1925.  This one was a bit more complicated to produce, as the large diameter arc of the top had to be a separate piece, sealed where it met the sides.  The arc of the top can be clearly seen on the tender backup light in this view.  This lamp had no side number boards, instead employing a V-shaped pair of number boards located above the front glass.  Early versions of this headlight burned kerosene and had a capped conical vent centered on top.  This headlight was nearly as widely used as the cuckoo clock for about 20 years, then dropped from use rather suddenly.

Thank you, as always, Hol!

What was the also-ran, the headlight design which coexisted with but eventually lost out to the cuckoo clock?
