The members of the Illuminating

Gently appointed a committee to in
vestigate the subject of eye-strain

that the eyes of the spectators in the

It recommends that the height of a
picture on the screen is such that the
angle formed by lines from the center
Of the top and the center Of the bot
tom to the eye of spectator In the
