I was wondering that. It refers to reversing the bulb to protect it when not in use, so possibly that was how it was used, being turned off by removing the bulb.

Thanks for posting the pictures. Dad used to have a focussing 2-cell "Searchlight" Ever-Ready torch like the one in the first picture of #42.
