Many years ago, when I was working for the Film & TV industry, we
recovered a searchlight from the front garden of a house in Copthorne,
East Sussex. We had Mole-Richardson 25kW arc lights already, but this
little (4 ft diameter) searchlight was wanted for special effects. I
had know it was there for some years, just didn't need it for my own
use.

Our maintenance guy got the arc mechanism working after a few hours
work and it was kept in use for some years, I don't know what happened
to it after I left the company in 1981.

It was possibly the one to go with this Petters generator.
