Abstract
IN conjunction with Captain J. E. S. Moore, I have been making some experiments on the use of acetylene in signalling lamps. We have obtained such good results with the very primitive apparatus at present employed, the light is so brilliant, and the requirements so portable, that it seems well worth considering whether acetylene could not take the place of the limelight where portability is an object.
