Different st7les, however, are required that differ- ent conditions ma7 be best fulfilled, and we have developed a variet7 of forms which we believe to be complete and well adapted to cover ever7 requirement. The illustrations give a general idea of the construction of these holders and largely explain themselves. The head is a sectional ball-and-socket joint (A), or double swivel joint, adaptable in its different forms to any place of attachment— ceiling, wall, floor, column, corner, bench or desk being equally available. The sectional ball-and-socket joint, for its marked originality and the great variety of its uses, has received many medals and awards, among which are those from the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia. Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics’ Association of Boston. World's Columbian Exposition. From the head (A) projects the upper or supporting arm, a metal tube which the ball-and-socket joint allows to be placed at any required angle with the place of attachment. The lower arm is attached to the upper arm by means of a swiveling and sliding cone joint (B), enabling it to be placed at any relation with the upper arm. The lower arm is also a metal tube, and is intended to carry the conducting cord, being fitted with insulating bushings at the ends to prevent abrasion of the cord. When desired, the upper arm may also carry the cord. The lamp is attached to the lower arm by means of the small wrist joint (C), which is especially useful when a shade is employed with the lamp. When the lamp has been brought to the desired position, it may be turned so as to be screened by the shade, thus keeping the glare out of the work- man’s eyes. The three joints (A), (B) and (C), of the simplest construction, have elastic friction tension, so after the fastenings have been tightened to give the required tension, no further attention has to be given to the joints. One has simply to grasp the lamp and place it in whatever position he de- sires, and it stays there; when not in use the lamp may be immediately pushed up out of the way. Ample provision is made for any possible wear from pi’olonged use. It will be noticed that the holder very closely resembles the human arm, with a ball-and-socket joint at the shoulder, a swivel joint at the elbow, and a hinge joint at the wrist. But the holder has far greater range of movement than the human arm, for either the upper or the lower arm may be shortened at will by sliding through the elbow-joint. The variety of form as well as the range of motion of these holders is almost unlimited, and is only hinted at in the illustrations. The holders are offered to the public with complete confidence that they will fulfill the most exacting requirements. Thk O. C. White Co., Worcester, Mass., U. S. A. 3 CEILING FIXTURE. STYLE A. This cut represents Style A, adapted for ceiling attachment. In the smallest list size of the regu- lar weight — arms 4 feet and 3 feet — its range horizontally is a circle over 9 feet in diameter, while its vertical range is from the ceiling down 7 feet. These Holders have been attached with perfect success to ceilings 1-2 foot high. In measuring for the attachment of the Holders, the proi>er length of upper arm is found by sub- tracting 61 feet from the distance from floor to attachment overhead.

PERFECTION IN INCANDESCENT LIGHTING ideal light for all purposes is a generally diffused illumination, for such a light will cast no shadows. The nearest approach to this ideal is obtained bj’ using large numbers of single sources, which is impracticable, owing to the great amount of heat neces- sarily developed as well as to the gi’eat expense of maintaining such an illumination. The ideal must be abandoned, then, and practical methods alone considered. The light of the arc lamp closely resembles that of the sun, but its shadows are very deep, owing to the contrast with the intense brilliancy of the light itself. To attempt to approach the ideal with arc lamps is obviously a folly. Hence, the arc lamp is adapted to what may be called rough illuminatiori, and should not be used for closely applied manual labor. The incandescent lamp, brought directly over or beside the work, and with a suitable shade attached and turned so as to keep the glare out of the workman’s eyes, presents the best solution of the problem. The light from gas, kerosene, or candles cannot be compared with that of the incandescent lamp, for not only is the incandescent light of a quality more agreeable to the eyes, but it can also be much more closely approached and applied without danger from heat or fire. But there is now another problem to be overcome — to obtain a means for holding the lamp in just the position to gain the best results. The “ White Adjustable Holder” solves that problem. It enables the incandes- cent lamp to be instantly brought to any desired position, and fixed there, no attention whatever having to be paid to the holder itself. The White Holder gi’eatly increases the economy and efficiency of the incandescent light: economy in that much fewer lamps are required to obtain the same results, since one lamp having a great range of movement will take the place of several fixed ones; efficiency in that the light from each lamp thus equipped is used to far greater advantage. The O. C. White Co., Worcester, Mass., U. S. A. 11 The O. C. White Adjustable Holders Commend Themselves, Because 1. They are SIMPLE, STRONG and DURABLE. 2. They do the work required PERFECTLY. 3. They are fitted for EVERY CONCEIVABLE POSITION or USE. 4. They LIGHT UP THE WORK in the BEST POSSIBLE MANNER. 5. They allow the lamp to be shifted iu an instant by the simple movement of one hand instantly in any desired position WITHOUT ANY ATTENTION BEING PAID TO THE FASTENINGS. (). By tlie iierfect illumination obtainable and their QUICK PLACE- MENT in JUST THE DESIRED POSITION, they save enough of the WORKMAN’S TIME to pay for their cost in less than a year. (A minute a day means five hours a year.) 7. One lamp, attached to this holder, which can be jilaced AT ONCE JUST WHERE IT IS NEEDED, is better than several suspended by cords. 8. They GREATLY REDUCE THE BREAKAGE OF LAMPS, as they can be instantly PLACED in a POSITION out of the way.
