SE4RCHLIGHT MIRRORS.
A NEW AND ECONOMICAL METHOD OF MAX.
ING THEM.


Both in war and peace the searchight is find
ing increased usefulness year by year. Hith-
erto, however, the preparation of the parabolic
mirror which projects the rays in a compact
pencil has been costly process-cOstly because
difficult. In the first place, it necessary
to bring the glass surface to a true parabola
and then to impart a rejecting surface. But
gested a procedure which simplifies the
task. He makes the reflector of metal, not
glass. This idea is not new. Others have tried
to make parabolic mirrors of metal, but have
failed. Mr. Coles seems to have succeeded by
fresh application of an old system.
He begins with mould of glass possessing
carefully prepared convex surface whose curves
parabolic. Upon this he deposits a layer of
metallic silver, which is polished before fur
ther steps taken. Then he immerSes the
mould in an electro plating bath and coats the
silver with copper The latter metal forms the
backing of the future mirror, and the silver the
front. While the last mentioned operation is in
progress Mr. Coles rotates the mirror slowly in
the fluid An average of fifteen turns to the
minute is sufficient. The copper adhereS firmly
to the silver, but the latter easily be sep
arated from the glass mould The incomplete
mirror is first immersed in cold water. The tenn
perature of the fluid is then raised gently to
about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Owing TO the
unequal expansion of glass and metal. the one
pulls away from the other. The only remaining
detail of Importance is to deposit a thin film Of
palladium on the silver to prevent furnishing.
