Abstract
Although agreeing in general with the sentiments expressed by Mr. Crane and Mr. Hunt, exception is taken to the statement that the solution of the headlighting problem is to be found in diffused lighting, because it has not sufficient range, is too glaring and is too dangerous in a fog. The trouble is said to lie not in the specifications but in the devices that they are supposed to cover. Suggestions are offered regarding modifications that might advantageously be made in the present specifications, and a detailed summation is given of the requirements considered essential to a first-class headlight. The statement is added that a headlight embodying all the points enumerated, while at the same time using a 21-cp. bulb, has already been perfected.
