Ketch, illuminating illuminat-ing Electric stated today. First installed in the United Nations headquarters in New York, the criss-cross grids diffuse the light, reduce shadows, and help prevent eyestrain by eliminating the globes from the ordinary level of sight, Mr. Ketch explained. " Libraries throughout the country cou-ntry are beginning to realize that people go there to read, and they want proper illumination," the engineer en-gineer added. The trend is to eliminate elim-inate table lamps, replacing them with intensive overall lighting he continued. "This makes it just like reading on a sun porch," he said. v "Our experiments in the Metropolitan Met-ropolitan Museum of Art in New York indicate that for many art galleries, it is desirable to shut off daylight entirely," he said. "Artificial lighting allows for a constant source nearly shadowless, at the tints which bring out the best in the paintings," he concluded. |
