Method for Measurement of Brightness of Carbon Arcs

M. T. Jones, R. J. Zavesky, W. W. Lozier

The brightness, or candlepower per unit area, of a light source is an important determinant of the intensity in a projected light beam. A method is described for measuring brightness of carbon arcs by determining the light intensity on a projected image of the source. The principles of the system and the equipment used for the measurement are discussed.
