Electronic Tube Control for Theater Lighting

Modern theatrical practice requires a switchboard capable of controlling elaborate electrical effects in connection with stage spectacles. Three-color house lighting, four- and five-color stage effects, frequently involving as much power as 1500 kw., require a flexible, compact, easily controlled system for accurately and rapidly effecting the various combinations and changes of lighting. — The reactance dimming electronic tube controlled switchboard here described is capable of presetting the intensities and combinations of lights, and easily controlling the effects required for several scenes in advance without interfering with the combinations for the scene in use.
