Westinghouse Quadro-Liner 175W/H39 NEMA-Head The Quadro-Liner...always thought it was a package deal from Westinghouse, but before circa 1970, it was a luminaire all to itself. (It would appear that the name comes from the four-panel optic...this optic was optional on later RMA's) The one above was made after 1962, and has the Paul Rand Westinghouse logo (not pictured) just above the chain hoop on the main housing. When I first found this, I thought it was just an early edition RMA. I've only seen two of these in the wild...one was a utility rental behind a business, and another at an apartment complex a relative lived at around 30 years ago...that one cycled.

Nice! I didn't know Westinghouse had a name for the 4 panel refractor. I've seen the same refractor used on the Viscount and maybe the Vanguard too. Some of the ones I've seen have a more milky acrylic panel on the house side for glare reduction.

@Ria - Shipping would be the issue, especially the optic.

@347V - Joe, it isn't just the refractor, the name was given to the whole package. I'm thinking that the refractor design was an inspiration for it though. Westinghouse also offered different quarter panels for different IES distribution options...I don't think that it was field modifiable.

The classic bucket that is the NEMA head, were these types of lanterns used by authorities for street lighting often, or were they mainly used by private properties? Wonder

Where I grew up, they were used by both. This one is utility grade...most residential applications used a cheaper version .
