Lighthouse
The working language of the keeper, the tender and the lamp.
Fresnel. Characteristic. Occulting. Watch room. The keeper’s trade had a vocabulary as precise as any engineer’s, and it disappeared inside forty years of automation. This volume is a record of it.

The Lighthouse Service kept immaculate logs. Weather, wick, oil consumed, hours burned. We read four decades of them and pulled the working nouns out.
Solving this book is not a history lesson. But you will finish it knowing what a characteristic is, and why two lights on the same coast are never permitted to share one.
