They are slightly shorter, about the same length as a F48T12 slimline. As for comments it depends on the frequency of visitors and who visits here at a given time.

Interesting find I've seen bi-pin VHO T12 aquarium lamps in a size like that, but never a normal 40w lamp

I've never heard of such a lamp. Any turret I've came across used standard length F40's.

Keep government out of the lighting industry.

Hmm yeah my turret and Western Electric lights with plunger sockets use normal lamps. Perhaps these are "conversion lamps" to convert from T12HO to standard output T12? I suspect that might have been a practice in the 70s and 80s when electricity rates skyrocketed, but cool lamp either way.

Please check out my newly-updated website! McCann Lighting Company is where my street light collection is displayed in detail.

@Lightingguy1994: Interesting thought on RDC caps ... Length-wize, that should work out just about right!
