The Grimes C-3A signal lamp was widely used by the U.S. Army Air Forces and, perhaps, the U.S. Navy, during the Second World War. Grimes Manufacturing was well known for its aircraft lights (green red and white), mounted on the wings, tail, etc. of civilian and military machines (see Ref. 2). It is entirely possible that Royal Canadian Air Force people used Grimes signal lamps during and / or after the Second World War. This signal lamp was presumably sold as war surplus, in the U.S. or Canada, after the end of the conflict. At some point during the post war years, it was modified to plug into the cigarette lighter of an automobile. Whether or not this was done in Canada is unclear. La lampe Grimes C-3A était couramment utilisé par les forces aérienne américaine, et possiblement aussi la marine américaine, lors de la seconde guerre mondiale. Grimes Manufacturing était bien connu pour ces lumières d'avions (vert, rouge et blanc), montées sur les ailes et pointe arrière des avions militaires et commerciales. C'est possible que l'aviation royale canadienne a aussi utilisé ces lampes pendant ou après la seconde guerre mondiale. Cette lampe a été vendue en surplus au états-unis et au Canada vers la fin du conflit. Après la guerre, la lampe a été modifiée pour s'adapter dans les allume cigarette des voitures. Par contre, ce n'est pas claire si ceci a été faite au Canada.
Function
A coloured filter used to alter the colour of light emitted from a hand held signal light. Un filtre en couleur pour changer la couleur de la lumière émit d'un feu de signalisation portatif.
Technical
As was written above, Grimes Manufacturing was well known for its aircraft lights, mounted on the wings, tail, etc. of civilian and military machines. The company’s designs were adopted in 1933 by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The all-important patent was awarded in 1936. Warren G. Grimes (1898-1975) has been described as the Father of the Aircraft Lighting Industry. Grimes Manufacturing is still with us, as Urbana-based Grimes Aerospace Company, a subsidiary of Honeywell International Incorporated. What is interesting about the Grimes signal lamp donated to the collection is its transformation from a military, airplane-oriented item to a civilian, ground-based one, closely associated to an automobile. Grimes Manufacturing était bien connu pour ces lumières d'avions (vert, rouge et blanc), montées sur les ailes et pointe arrière des avions militaires et commerciales. Les conceptions ont été adoptés en 1933 par le départment de commerce américain. Le brévet a été remit en 1936. Warren G. Grimes (1898-1975) est reconnu comme pionnier dans l'industrie d'éclairage en aviation. Grimes Manufacturing existe encore sous le nom Grimes Aerospace Company. Un fait intéressant de cette lampe donné à la collection est sa transformation entre une lampe d'avion militaire, vers une lampe utilisé plus précisemment pour un véhicule terrain.
