Abstract
DR. CLIFFORD C. PATERSON, director of the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company, Ltd., has written an interesting review of the technical progress made last year in the development of electric discharge lamps (Electrician, Jan. 31). Last year he directed attention to the new problems which the ‘black-out’ has raised so far as general outdoor and shop-lighting are concerned. Except in special instances, these problems offer-little scope for discharge lamps. On the other hand, the intensification of the War, while making these outdoor lighting (or darkening) problems more acute, has also created a greater need than ever for high efficiency light sources for our factories and workshops—a need which the existing discharge lamps go a long way to meet.
