One approach to somewhat control glare had a movable reflector assembly to be used when another vehicle approached. This assembly was tilted...

Yes, these are all real conditions that existed “once upon a time.” This thread will describe the early headlamps and beam patterns, discuss some of the differences in ...

In this thread I will describe the development of automobile headlamps. The major topics covered will include the following: - The reasons for the emergence and use of different light sources, headlamp materials, optical controls and aiming methods - The differences between U.S. and European headlam...
