Abstract
118,739. Hall, J. I., and Callender's Cable & Construction Co. Nov. 9, 1917. Lamp signals.-To facilitate night landings, an aerodrome is provided with two concentric rings of glazed lights A, B let into the ground, the surfaces of the inner lights being inclined towards the centre of the circle and their upper edges arranged level with the ground, which is raised as shown. Any one of the outer lights is illuminated to indicate the direction of the wind, and the pilot flies over it when about to alight. The inner lights are all illuminated so that the pilot can estimate his height by observing the appearance of the ring, the light most remote becoming invisible when the machine travels along the line MF. All the lights are neutral tinted, but by using coloured lamps in the lights adjacent to the guiding-light in the outer ring the force of the wind may be indicated.
