50. Q. How do you proceed when you wish to use the light?

A. Open the globe valve in the steam pipe to the turbo-generator, at

least two turns. The water-glass, steam and air gauge lamps in the cab,

and the number indicator lamp in the headlight case should light up as

soon as the turbo-generator reaches full speed. A double-throw knife

switch in the cab controls the headlight. In one position the switch

gives the full brilliancy of the headlight. The opposite or "dimmer"

position reduces the brilliancy about one-half. When the switch bar is

in neither position the headlight is entirely out, and only the number

lamp is burning. The classification lamp, lubricator and order or

reading lamp, are controlled by a small switch on the socket of each

lamp.
