Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Director of the Bureau of Standards to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor: For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1912
For commercial companies tests have been made of the efficiency, light distribution, and life of luminous arcs, and of the intensity and distribution of light from a number of inverted gas lamps. The Bureau has been called on for advice as to the improvement of the lighting of the Civil Service building and the economical lighting of the post office building at Baltimore. The latter was taken up by the President's Commission on Economy and Efficiency as a typical case of the lighting of public buildings.
