required to attach the tripod to the top of the cab. The 

 floodlights produced a semicircle of light extending 

 about 10 yards on either side of the truck and about 15 

 yards forward. The individual flood lamps were adjust- 

 able so that the area of projected light could be con- 

 trolled. 



The major electrical wiring consisted of a cable 

 (llO-volt, single phase AC cable, No. 10 wire) leading 

 from the llO-volt, AC outlet of the generator to a 110- 

 volt master switch box with a fuse. The switch box 

 was mounted on the inside wall of the truck, and a siiort 

 electrical cable, which terminated in a female recep- 

 tacle, led from the switch box, fig. 4. The cable from 

 the floodlight cluster terminated in a locking, heavv 

 duty male plug and was connected with the short lead 

 from the switch box to complete the power circuit to 

 the floodlights. A flexible, mechanically operated con- 



trol cable, running from the switch box to the ceiling of 

 the truck cab above the driver, provided a means of 

 switching the floodlights on or off during the trapping 

 operations, figs. 2 and 4. 



The hand-held spotlight used in this work was a 

 Unity Model \o. 742, 100.000 candle power, 12-volt 

 automobile searchlight equipped with a male plug. To 

 provide electrical current for the spotlight, a short elec- 

 trical cable, W'hich terminated in a female receptacle, 

 was attached to the terminals of the 12-volt storage 

 battery; tiie spotlight was plugged in to complete the 

 circuit. 



A net, used to capture pheasants, was equipped with 

 a 10-foot handle, which was constructed of 1-inch con- 

 duit, and a hoop 30 inches in diameter. The bag of the 

 net was made of l-inch mesh netting and had a depth of 

 about 1.5 inches. Because the net was heavy, a short
