H-2 Internal Unit

 

The internal unit for the style H-2 searchlight signal is almost identical to the one used in the style H signal. The outer doublet on the H-2 unit has more curvature being designed to match the smooth outer doublet of the H-2.There is a notation on the top of each mechanism instructing the signal maintainers which style of signal the unit fits.The notation reads: Adjusted for style �H-2� signal.Do not use in style �H.�

While most internal units I have come across have glass bottom covers, some have had plastic bottom covers.I assume the manufacturers and servicers began using these when quality plastics became available.
