To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We use delib- erately offset filaments to control the beam to make it move up and down in the two-beam headlight- ing system. The shape of the reflector, the type of lens, and the position and shape of the filament can be chosen, therefore, to give the exact beam which is needed to light the road. BENDING LIGHT RAYS IT IS fortunate for us that light can be bent, or in technical lan- guage, refracted. In traveling from one transparent medium to an- other, such as from air to water, a light beam ...is bent. If this were not so, our eyes could not focus light coming to them and we would not be able to see an image. Refraction, or bending, takes place when light passes from one substance to another because light travels at different speeds in dif- ferent mediums. The speed is high- est in a vacuum and almost as fast in air, or about 186, 000 miles a second. It is only about three- fourths of this speed in water and two-thirds in glass. A mechanical explanation of refraction can be made by using the billiard table.
