HAS LlGHT-RAYS LIKE SUN
New Incandeseent Lamp Attachment
ideal for Matching Of colors--
Mazda Lamp Is Used.

To overcome the difficulty of match
ing colors by artificial light. an ap.
lparatus has been designed which win
give the true white light of the north
ern sun
An ordinary Mazda lamp is used
and the light therefrom is transmit
ted through a number OF strips OF diff.
ferent eolored glass. placed side by
side.
After the light has passed through
these strips It goes through a mixer
or diduser The size Of each one OF
these coloned strips may be fixed &C
cording TO the quality Of the light. so
that the result OF all is a perfectly
white light
II Is said that this arrangement has
made the resultant light so close to
that Of daylight that in cases where
colors are to be matched by the light
of the sun they match equally well
by this artificial light.
Work where exact color matching
is involved can be carried on for long
periods OF cloudy weather with as
much satisfaction as in ordinary day
light.
