Lawson, D.I., Pickard, R.W. and Simms, D.L., 1954. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CARBON ARC SOURCE OF HIGH INTENSITY RADIATION. Fire Research Notes 128


ABSTRACT

A carbon arc searchlight has been modified for use as a source of high intensity radiation. Instruments have been designed to measure and monitor its output: the position of the area of maximum intensity can be observed and held constant. An electronic switch has been designed so that specimens can be exposed to the radiation for set periods.
