[QUOTE="Dave Gittins, post: 27490, member: 139025"] Lightoller simply got it wrong. The socket signals had to meet Board of Trade standards, which were 600-800 feet. The same goes for the colour. There's a lot of strange testimony on this from Hichens but the manufacturers did not supply special July 4th mixtures or surprise packages of assorted colours. [/QUOTE]
