 cent, nitrogen-filled, 

 tungsten (mazda) 

 lamp. It may be said 

 in passing that these 

 glass filters whiten any 

 artificial light, but that 

 true daylight color 

 values are given only 

 under the precise con- 

 ditions for which the 

 glass was worked out. 

 It is also gratifying to 

 note that this success- 

 ful solution of a long 

 vexing problem came 

 only when the rigid 

 training in physics and 

 chemistry and the fa- 

 cilities of a great man- 

 ufacturing plant were 

 brought together. 



In the practical use 

 of these daylight fil- 

 ters it was found by 

 me that the surface 

 should be finely ground 

 (frosted), or white 

 frosted glass should 

 be used with it. Then 

 the light should be en- 

 closed in some form of 

 lantern to cut off all 

 unfiltered light, and

 about 40 to 45 C. and serves for spreading paraffin

 one is careful. (-4, B, are only about 5 natural
