For the first time in about 15
years, the General Electric Generator for the searchlight
was fired up on June 22nd. She ran for about 20 minutes till
we shut her down. We found that the fuel pump was defective
and needs to be replaced. The work will continue in hopes to
have her ready for July 6th For Mac Days.
This is an exciting project
for the Fort MacArthur Museum because this is the same type
of searchlight used by Battery K of the 3rd Coast Artillery
while it was stationed at the fort during the second world
war.
