When incandescent lamps were made
with carbonized bamboo tilaments it was
impossible to get them of uniform resist
ance throughout. The result was that,
when current was sent through the
lamp the filament glowed more brightly
in some spots than in others, and in order
to make the resistance uniform the fla
ments had to be treated" This treat
ment consisted in introducing a hydro
carbon gas into the bulb and then send
ing current through the filament. The
parts that glowed brightest, j. e., those
that were of too high resistance, had
carbon deposited on them more rapidly
than on the cooler portions. which
brought the filament to uniform re-
SiStance throughout.
Filamcnts are now manufactured from
cellulose by means of the squirting
process, and there is no difficulty in max
ing them of uniform resistance, but the
treatment is still continued, not because
il is necessary to secure uniform resist
ance. but because it has been found that
the hard coating of graphite carbon
given to the filament by this process
greatly improves its light-giying proper
ties. The untreated carbon radiatcs its
heat much more readily than the treated.
hence a given amount or power expended
in the lamp will cause the treated carbon
to attain Il higher temperature than the
untreatcd and the efficiency of the lamp
is thereby mproved.-Science and In
