We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

For instance, a Wv value of 50 indicates that with the illumination to which the value applies the illumination on the object must be twice as great as would be required with sunlight to obtain this same photographic effect. Since the efficiency in terms of energy consumption is of considerable interest, the values given in Table 2 have been reduced to that basis and are given in Table 3. The luminous flux incident upon unit area (1 sq. cm.) at a meter distance from the source of 1 mean spherical candle power is 4^ ^ 1 (7) 4 X r2 100 2 lumens This is the value of the luminous flux incident upon unit area of the surface on which the illumination is 1.0 meter candles. If the inertia expressed in terms of energy be denoted by the symbol le 100^ , this is expressed in terms of lumens seconds cm. 2 Now, if the efficiency of the source used be C (in — ), ■^ ^ watts lumen seconds I the value remains the same when expressed in watt second ' C is the efficiency in watt seconds lumen seconds i (in m.c.s.) 100^ ^ , and watts seconds cm 2 (8) i (in m.c.s.) 100^ X 10^ c ergs cm. 2 = "-^ (9) ie is, therefore, the inertia value expressed in ergs consumed at the source per cm^ at the plate. This value is inversely proportional to the photic efficiency of the source when used on that particular plate. The photic efficiency may be obtained, therefore, by taking the reciprocal of ie.
