results, in practice all over the country and not in only a few spots, I should prefer to match up the protector with the reflector. Unless the problem can be put to the mirror manufacturers I believe it is entirely out of the hands of the lamp manufacturer to control the accuracy of the reflector. I want to be clearly understood: I don't object to anything that is an improvement, but I do object to anything that is going to cause trouble.
Guards vs. Pitted Mirrors President Goldsmith: It may be, of course, that extreme accuracy is not as necessary as we perhaps think. If the auxiliary guards are thin and if their surfaces are reasonably clean, then the major loss of light, of useful light, will result from absorption in the glass, rather than from reflection, and that necessarily will be fairly small in good clear glasses.
Mr. Rubin : The only question involved here is this : After a week or two of using the Suprex carbons, which pit considerably, will you get more light with the protector, which you claim causes a loss of 4 per cent, than from a pitted mirror? When you sell the exhibitor a mirror, he is not going to buy another one in two minutes. He will allow the mirror to become pitted more and more, for three weeks or a month, or perhaps a year. Which is to be preferred?
