Title: Radar Glass
Post by: Clarson02 on August 21, 2018, 12:56:56 PM

Ship Radar Glass :  I have been doing some research on this and I believe it is the glass on top of the radar used on navy ships a long time ago? There are different colors. I'm wondering if anybody knows the value of these or an outlet for them. Any info welcome.

I don't comprehend the connection between "radar" and "colored glass" lenses.

Reminds me more of a navigation light/spotlight lens!

Such as on this boat!

 ;D There is a similar "spotlight" in the picture I posted,

Different colored "lenses" would infer they were made for a per se "harbor patrol boat" or an "emergency" craft.

After talking with family (navy, coast guard) different lenses helped in signaling thus you have a lens for a signal light.

Just a link for you to see that the signal lights had different color lenses -
