Western Lamp Cadences

Back in the "Good Old Days" Western Electric produced a number of
products that used different lamp on/off cadences to indicate various
circuit conditions. 1A and 1A2, for example had a flash cadence
(~500ms on, 500ms off) and a wink cadence (~250ms off, 750ms on).
There was another cadence on some products that I recall being called
"flutter" which had a very rapid on/off cycle. Does anyone know what
the on/off time intervals of this cadence were?

Thanks in advance!
