Excerpt from Searchlights: Their Theory, Construction and Applications On being asked to write a general treatise on Searchlights for Professor Voit's Sammlung elektro-technischer Vorträge, the author felt unable to decline, as he had had in mind for a considerable time the preparation of a small work embodying the results which he had collected and the experience gained by him during an acquaintance with this class of apparatus extending over many years. To this was added the fact that searchlights were being employed for an increasingly large number of purposes, and that the circle of those interested in their use was rapidly widening. There was, however, no comprehensive work in existence which might serve as an introduction to the subject. The present book was designed to meet this want. It was intended to give details of construction and of working, which would be useful to officers and engineers who had to handle searchlights, and on the other hand, to furnish the essential technical data required by the designer.
