    We had those little green torches until well into the 80's and they were still referred to as American torches even though they were made by EVER READY by then. They were still dished out to students on the PCD and JOTAC courses at Warminster About as dim as a Toc-H lamp! How did we ever read a map with that stuff! Mind you, being Commissioned, I didn't get to read many maps!
