Description

These reflectors can be placed from ten to fifteen feet apart, and then when a red hot iron is placed at the focal point of one reflector it will cause an inflammable substance, such as phosphorous, to be ignited at the focal point of the other reflector. These reflectors are mounted on tall wooden standards. We have two sets of these reflectors, (such as the pair in Figure 36) which are mounted on short metal standards and are designed to be used on a table or bench.
