THE ILLUMINATING ENGINEER (oct.) 503 HALF-WATT LAMPS OUTSIDE THE EMPIRE Liimiua Bureau Photo. In the above illustration we reproducea view of the Empire in Leicester Square,taken entirely by artificial light. Thetaking of this photograph was by no meansan easy matter, owing to the large crowdsof people assembling outside tl is buildinguntil quite late at night. There is an interesting variety of illu-minants used. On the roof of the building will be noticed some torches usingordinary tungsten lamps, lower down willbe seen signs and festoons of miniatureglow lamps and also a series of four silicamerctiry vapour lamps. Under the balcony are a series of200-volt, 500-watt (1000 candles) half-watt lamps, installed by the GeneralElectric Co., Ltd., and giving a verybrilliant illumination over the stepsleading into the theatre. 504 THE ILLUMINATING ENGINEER (ocr.)
