  "This was Fred Bentham's 1K "mirror spot" which existed in both skeleton form for circle- front boxes with semaphore gel changer and later as an enclosed hanging lantern, nicknamed the "coffin spot" due to its shape. Production ceased when prefocus 1000W lamps allowed the development of the Patt 263/4 in 1963."
