Title: Method of making optical fiber mounting arrangement

Abstract: Optical fibers which protrude through a base plate to simulate airfield lights in a closed-circuit television visual display are accurately and securely yet removably positioned with a desired angular orientation and a desired protrusion by means of attached keying or aligning pins which register with a key plate. The key pins are attached to the optical fibers using heat-shrinkable tubing. The other ends of the fibers also may be accurately positioned using heat-shrinkable tubing.
