Great as is the advance in lighting that has beenmade through research within the last twenty years, manwastes far too much energy in obtaining light. This problem of the cold light cannot be solved merelyby trying to improve existing power-generating machineryand existing lamps. We should still be burning candles ifchemists and physicists had confined their researches to theimprovement of materials and methods for making candles. For these reasons, the Research Laboratories of theGeneral Electric Company are not limited in the scope o
