Show Incandescent Train Lamps. Germany claims to have made a discovery dis-covery of great importance for the lighting of railway trains. Up to the present, except in those rare cases where electricity is used, acetylene has been the principal illumlnant. So far all efforts to adapt the use of incandescent incan-descent gas to the conditions of railway rail-way traffic had failed. At last the difficulty has been surmounded by the obtaining of an incandescent gas lamp which will resist the roughtest shocks .and jostlings of railway carriages. Thirty-five thousands carriages on the Prussian and Hessian state lines will shortly be equipped with these lamps. |
