| Publ. 114 equates A2915.5 to 114-2395, and describes the light as leading front, 1/2, no height or range, on pole on dolphin. It goes on to show a corresponding rear light, 114-2395.1, Oc/5, no height or range. Finally, it mentions in passing a QY close by as occasional. Michael suggests that all these indications are best ignored. | ||
