Archaeological investigations of a burned 1916-1919 United States Army
building at Fort Rosecrans, San Diego, California (CA-SDI-12,000)
exposed a
number
of carbon rods of various sizes. Although some were undoubtedly from
batteries, other larger ones were associated with search lights used for
coast
artillery sighting. I too have wondered how those were made and how long
the
technology has been around.
