That tube explains what looks like a crack in the glass on the Five-0 intro
The Michigan State Police used some of these in 60's and 70's with a red lense. Living in Mi. you would think there would be some around. Nope. Glad you found one.Same type of light made famous in the original Hawaii Five-O! Had to replace pilot light post and bulb. But otherwise works well!
The benefits of the oscillation of the model 174 have been discussed here before. To put it in a somewhat more modern context, consider the effectiveness of the Magnabeam versus the Firebeam.
If I recall correctly, the 176 came out some years after the 174 for applications where the an oscillating beacon would not necessarily be desired.
