Remember that all these percentages are percentages as compared to magnesium carbonate. In other words, it has enormous "fadeaway" when viewed at an arerle, though up to about 25 degrees it, while reflecting far below its straight-in-front brilliancy, still is equal to the magnesium carbonate surface, and anywhere within that range it is superior. And now let us see exactly what that means. In Fig. 76 we have the representation of an auditorium 80 feet wide by 70 feet front to back. The individual can select the side lines which fit the width of his own theatre. Each of the small squares is 10 feet each way.
