Talk:Bull's Eye

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bull's eye can also refer to a small oil lantern that was in use before the advent of the electric torch or flashlight. A bull's eye was usually carried on night rounds by British policemen in the 19th century. In the "The Sign of Four", Sherlock Holmes requests a policeman: “Lend me your bull’s eye, Sergeant” prior to climbing the roof of a house in darkness.
