We Fight With Light!
The 1941 Sperry
searchlight is ready for action
|
The Sperry searchlight Arc was
struck for the first time on Friday, July 5th at 5:30pm in
the Searchlight shed. Later that night, Museum Curator Steve
Nelson, ran the light for about 45 minutes along side Bob
Meza's 1941-A General Electric Searchlight. The two lights
attracted a heck of a crowd as the streets surrounding the
Fort were lined with car loads of folks wondering where
these beams of light were coming from.
Even though the Sperry now works, it still needs a few odds
and ends to make her complete like Volt and Amp meters for
the generator.
