POSITION LIGHT—MARKIDESCRIPTION OF POSITION LIGHT.

The light is a flare used for signaling purposes. It-burns for

about one minute, giving off a red, green, or white flame. Ithas an internal diameter of 1£ inches and a total length of 3|

inches. Itconsists of a paper or tin case, a tin outer cover, apasteboard inner cover, a flare composition, a wooden pin, a

match composition, a striking composition, and a cotton pad.The light is assembled in the following manner: The flare

composition, with the wooden-pin projection one-fourth of an

inch from its upper surface, is inserted into the case. Thematch composition is put over the projecting end of the pin.

The inner cover fits into the case and protects the match, composition. The striking compound is placed on top of the inner

cover and the cotton wad over the compound. The outer coveris slipped over the whole and fastened to the case by a piece of

tape.

The color of the light is indicated by the label and the tin

cover. The label is printed on colored paper corresponding to

the color of the flare. The tin cover is suitably shaped to

facilitate selection of the proper color in the dark. Itis smooth

for a green, corrugated for a red, and pointed for a white light*

TO TTSE THE LIGHT.

Pull the string projecting from the wrapper and remove the

flare. Remove the outer cover, the cotton wad, and the inner

cover. Strike the top of the inner cover on the match compo-

sition ; this ignites the latter which, in turn, lights the flarecomposition.
