I saw an installation of P149 lanterns in Essex a year or so ago and remember the bowls being tapered so they were almost 'V' shaped.Heck, this is a genuine surprise! I hope they are stil there. And I definitely remember the bowls being nearly V shaped too (that's why I thought they were Beta Threes until I discovered the Beta Three never ran mercury!).
Going slightly off thread.... This one does..
One of my "conversions"...
I can, of course, only speak for my corner of Essex, which used to have loads of P149s until they were wiped out. But if they still exist somewhere in Essex it would be great to see them again. I'm afraid I'm not on the Yahoo group (although I do occasionally have a look!), so I was wondering if any of you guys know Simon, and if he would mind me asking him if he remembers where he saw them? I'll drop him an email...
