Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incandescent Electric Lamps and Their Application A little thought will establish the fact, however, that the improve ments made have been chiefly in the lamp itself, the introduction of the metal filament being responsible for the increased efficiency that has placed electric lighting practically within reach of all. In comparison with the advances made in filament construction those made in the direction of scientific artificial lighting have been small.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Edison Incandescent Electric Light The Edison shops are under the management of the most skilled and practical electricians and electrical engineers, who have been associated with Mr. Edison from the time of his early experiments, and who are familiar with every branch of the business, having aided in the first incandescent electric light plant ever operated, namely, the Menlo Park exhibit. The enormous product of Edison light equipment which has been turned out, and is now in operation in every quarter of the globe, has resulted in the acquirement of a most thorough knowledge of the best processes of manufacturing, and their unequaled facilities restricts the cost of production to the lowest figure consistent with the high standard of.

Download or read book Standard Lighting written by H. C. Cushing and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standard Lighting: With Incandescent Electric Lamps Since an Object is seen by the light which comes to it from the source and thence by reflection to the eye, it follows that color in the Object is seen only when the light contains rays Of that color. For example, a red Object will appear black under light in which red rays are lacking or a blue Object will appear black when blue rays are absent in the source. Daylight is composed of all the colors in proportions seen in the rainbow The light from Mazda lamps contains all the colors composing daylight but if the spectra, or rainbows, Of the two were to be compared it would be seen that the Mazda lamp was richer than daylight in the orange - red region and weaker in the blue. For ordinary purposes, the light from clear Mazda lamps is sufficiently like daylight to answer all requirements, but where color discr1m1nat10n is a factor, as in sorting or grading pro cesses for example, and in the laundry where scorch marks must be readily distinguishable, or where the artificial light is used to supplement daylight, as in an Office, daylight lamps, which screen out the majority Of the excess orange-red rays, find wide application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incandescent Electric Lights: With Particular Reference to the Edison Lamps All these attempts had but partially succeeded, to say nothing more, when, in 1879. The new incandescent carbon lamp of Mr. Edison was announced, and many savants, and myself in particular, doubted the exactness of the allegations which came to us from America. The carbonized paper horse-shoe appeared incapable of resisting mechanical shocks, and of supporting incandescence for any length of time. At this epoch Mr. Swan himself said that up to that time he had not been able to obtain any very satisfactory results by an analagous dis position of the incandescent organ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Electric Light From this beginning the section was expanded to include the whole field of engineering and is designated at present as the Divisions of Mineral and Mechanical Technology. The growth and enlarge ment of the collections has been particularly marked in the fields of mining and mineral industries; mechanical engineering, especially pertaining to the steam engine, internal combustion engine and loco motive naval architecture, and electrical engineering, particularly the development of the telegraph, telephone and the electric light. In the acquisition of objects visualizing the history of electric light the Museum has been rather fortunate, particularly as regards the developments in the United States. Thus mention may be made of the original Patent Office models of the more important dynamos, arc lights and incandescent lights, together with original commercial apparatus after these models a unit of the equipment used in the first commercially successful installation on land of an incandescent lighting system, presented by Joseph E. Hinds in whose engraving establish ment in New York City the installation was made in 1881 and a large series of incandescent lights, mainly originals, visualizing chrono logically the developments of the Edison light from Its inception, pre sented at intervals since the year 1898 by the General Electric Company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Lighting There are few engineering activities which have advanced more rapidly during the last few years than have the, art and practice Of electric lighting. Illuminants have been steadily improved and refined. New types Of lamps have been developed giving better colors Of light, more efficient light production, cheaper units and a greater range Of sizes. Principles Of illumination have been studied and applied in the better solution Of lighting problems. Indirect lighting, semi or complete, has introduced great possibilities into the handling Of both small and large installations. The economic value Of good lighting is better appreciated. Color is beginning to play an important part in lighting schemes. It is destined to become even more widely utilized.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Efficiency Meter for Electric Incandescent Lamps The problem to be solved consisted in devising some method by which the readings of a wattmeter would be made to vary inversely as the candlepower. Two general methods suggested themselves, a mechanical method and an electrical one. According to the former either the scale of the wattmeter would be moved by the motion of the photometer carriage, or the motion of the latter would vary the counterforce opposed to the moving coil, as, for example, by increasing or decreasing the effective length of the spring. Either of these methods would require the wattmeter to be specially constructed, and to be fixed in position relative to the photometer, and would present other serious practical difficulties, so that the mechanical method was abandoned for the more promis ing electrical method.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incandescent Lighting The subject of Incandescent Lighting is itself extensive, and IS closely related to several others of great interest. In endeavouring to give a general account in so small a compass, it has been necessary to make the treatment both concise and selective. Attention has been given primarily to the mining and treatment of monazite, and the manufacture of the mantle, but an attempt has been made to bring the whole subject under review, and to describe and compare the different methods of lighting now in use. The comparative treatment has been historical as well as general, and deals particularly with considerations of cost, and of efficiency from the energy point of View.
