Recent improvements in carbons for broadside lamps and spotlamps are described. New negative carbons, designed for use with spotlamps result in more quietly burning arcs. — New carbons have been designed for broadside lamps giving quieter burning and steadier light. The light is of the same spectral quality as that of the spotlamp-filter combinations used for Technicolor photography. Curves of spectral energy distribution of light received on the set and records illustrating the improved steadiness and quieter burning are shown.
