[Milsurplus] Arc Lamps for projector sets

[J. Forster]

Arc lamps for movie projectors used DC until Xenon was developed and
deployed. It was only a matter of where it came from...  the line, a
rectifiere, or a MG set.

Scolly Square became City Hall about the time I arrived in Boston. The old
whores were displaced by the current ones...  the politicians.
