  • “A History of Progress in AFL Technology”
    “A History of Progress in AFL Technology” 1 HISTORY OF THE AVIATION LIGHTING COMMITTEE OF THE ILLUMINATING ENGINEERING SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA On October 21, 1929, a letter was written to the Assistant Secretary for Aeronautics by F.C. Hingsburg, Chief Engineer of the Airways Division of the Department of Commerce, in which he announced that at first meeting of the Aviation Lighting Committee of the Illuminating Engineering th Society had been held on October 17 . The committee was made up of selected engineers interested in the development aviation lighting and air navigation facilities. There had evidently been considerable preparation work before the meeting was held, because it was able to organize itself into ten sub-committees as follows: No. 1: Mr. S.C. Eibben headed the committee to try to standardize airplane lighting; so those replacements could be obtained when aircrafts were outside of their home area. He was from the Westinghouse Lamp Company at Bloomfield, New Jersey. No. 2: This sub-committee was to concern itself with Airways, which at that time were lighted pathways across the country. D.C. Young of the National Lamp Works at Nela Park, Cleveland, Ohio, was put in charge of the Group. Mr. D.C. Young became the secretary of the Lighting Committee and held the position for a number of years. No. 3: This group was to study and make recommendations on color standards for airways and airports. Dr. Gage of Corning Glass works headed this project. No. 4: This group was to concern itself with the airways and beacons and also arrange for research on intensities, colors, duration of flashes, etc.
