C-H Dimmers are used. g tying Dimmers Their Proper Place In the Picture C-H "Simplicity'* Dimmer Plates are supplied by leading switchboard manufacturers with the board they install. Fig. 1 shou>s the front of a typical board. Fig. 2 the rear view showing C-H Dimmer pltues and Fig. 3 a single plate. Dimmer plates are the heart of any lighting control board. Make sure the C-H trademark is on your plates for long life, smooth lighting control and low maincemnce. DIMMER plates — hidden as they are behind the switchboard — too often fail to receive the proper amount of attention when lighting equipment is selected. The board which throws lights into full brilliance for a burst of color must also be able to wipe them quickly, smoothly into "black out." This is the test of the dimmer plates behind the switchboard. Cutler-Hammer "Simplicity" Dimmers were providing flickerless light control in leading show houses over a quarter of a century ago. Their superior construction, their freedom from burnouts and other dimmer faults have made C-H Dimmers the choice of theater owners ever since. Constant improvement in C-H dimmer design has kept pace with modern electrical requirements. Today the mark of Cutler-Hammer on the dimmer plates behind the switchboard assures careful showmen that their lighting control is correct as well as modern. Long experience in theatrical lighting problems, improved dimmer plate design and construction — these are the advantages which Cutler-Hammer offers you when you specify C-H Dimmers. They can be had on any board you install . . . and be enlarged with the growth of your requirements. Your architect or electrician can tell you more about C-H "Simplicity" Dimmers. Ask for the C-H Booklet "Illumination Control for Modern Theaters." It shows many typical C-H Dimmer installations in leading theaters throughout the country. CUTLER-HAMMER, Inc.
