Incandescent electric lights . Fig. 18. To give an idea of the application ofMr. Edisons systems, we have represent-ed in the large engraving accompanyingthis article, Fig. 19, the interior of a. 37 parlor lighted by the small chandelierspreviously described. As is seen, theelectric light is projected downward, thebest arrangement for reading and writ-ing. This method seems to be preferredby Mr. Edison, but as can be seen abovedescribed that all styles of illuminationcan be produced with this kind of light,analogous to that obtained with candlesor gas jets, it is simply a matter oftaste.

At these two placesthe currents are furnished by twoGramme machines, type A, and each onelights about 40 lamps.
