Each headlight was boxed in identical, sealed Sylvania boxes, and cost about $4.00. - One box contained a lamp with the Sylvania name in raised letters on the glass lens. - The other box contained a lamp with the Westinghouse name in raised letters on the lens, and Sylvania stam- ped in ink on the rear. Both lamps are of the same general replacement type (and model number), but have different lens and filament struc- tures. The one marked Sylvania is brighter! One of the store clerks claimed this is common; three brands of lamps are often mixed among three different brand boxes. -- =============================================================================== Bob Parnass, Bell Telephone Laboratories - ihnp4!ihu1h!parnass - (312)979-5414
