DEVELOP FOG BEACON LIGHT 500,000,000-Candle Power Lamp for Planes. B>j Times Special NEW YORK, June 22.—A new type of super-beacon, ten times more powerful than any electric light now in existence, which can be seen for 100 miles, will penetrate fog, ajid which is designed especially to direct airplanes and designate landing fields through darkness and storm, has been developed in the Long Island City laboratories of Rainbow Luminous Products, Inc., it was learned today. The giant beacons, which develop an equivalent of 500,000,000 candlepower, yet only use about one-third the kilowat requirement of other forms of illumination, have been tested on several Army and municipal air fields where models have been installed. The new Rainbow super-beacon, the invention of R. R. Machlett, is composed of forty-five millimeter Rainbow super-tubes, filled with rare gas and electrified in the same manner as the commercial tubelights during the past few years. Giving off a brilliant orange-red light, its brightness and penetration of darkness and fog are far in excess of any other beacons developed. and it is expected to be of universal benefit for night flying and especially for directing planes to landing fields through fog. The new Rainbow super-beacon is not in the form of a searchlight. It is an open lamp which, in addition to its tremendous penetrating range, will diffuse light over the entire landing field and can also be used to flash code signals or messages to fliers en route.
