For projector arcs, however, it is wise to allow a margin of 50 per cent., or double the current between fuU and using load. Always use copper wire for arc fuses. Size of Carbons for Projecting Arcs.

For the motion picture exhibitor it is of greater importance to know the proportion of light reflected from a given surface at some definite. reflection angle or angles. The table on page 230 gives this reflected light value for various screens at side angles of fifteen degrees, forty-five degrees and sixty degrees, a magnesium oxide screen being taken as the unit for comparison.
