. Journal of electricity. Government demandsand the impossibility of obtaining raw materials arethe usual explanations offered the public. While the manufacturers of electrical apparatusand supplies have experienced their share of troubles,there has been no noticeable change in the quality ofthe product. As a general thing the quality has beenwell maintained and in some instances due to bettermethods of manufacture—some of which have beenbrought about by necessity—the product has actuallybeen improved or an equally good product has beenturned out at about the same cost. This condition of affairs should be appreciated bythe electrical merchant and he should make capital ofit at every opportunity in presenting his lines to hiscustomers. It should give him considerable pride tobe able to explain that while the price of most devicesor appliances has increased, the quality is still of thebest. In this respect, the electrical merchant is in amost favorable position. How many of them are tak-ing advantage of it?. TEN OCLOCK —MORNING An example of the type of business which may be picked upby the enterprising contractor-dealer is to be found in thesedaylight and night views of the U. S. National Bank ofPortland, Oregon. Twelve X-ray flood lighting projectors areused for the night illumination. They are banked togetherin three horizontal rows of four projectors each, mounted onerow above the other on an iron framework installed on the TEN OCLOCK —NIGHT top of a four-story building which stands on the diagonallyopposite corner of the street intersection. The projectorsare grouped together as much as possible with the idea ofproducing a forenoon sunlight effect, thereby preserving thearchitectural features instead of obliterating them as isdone in many flood lighting installations. The equipmentconsists of six 500-watt lamps and six 750-watt lamps. 38 JOURNAL OF ELECTRICITY tVol. XL —No. 1 8F 3H€ WHAT WESTERN INVENTORS ARE DOING BY WM. K. WHITE AND H. G. PROST (If
