2	A.D. 1871. -- Nº 2014.	Provisional Specification
Hayward's Improvements in Pavement Lights.

The form and arrangement of the prism is, however, entirely altered in order that the light may be throw forward in one direction, as already stated. One of the sides of the prism is upright or nearly so, and the other side is inclined to it at such an angle that the light passing through the upper surface may strike this inclined side and be reflected completely or nearly so within the prism, and issue from the upright or nearly upright side in the direction required. The sides of the prism may be flat or curved in a horizontal plane.     I usually form the glasses to glaze pavement lights hexagonal on the upper surface, and fit them into an iron frame with corresponding hexagonal cells, but the glass may be made rectangular or of other form on the upper surface.
