Mr. O'Brien said that there appeared to be no protection for each individual bus-bar at the point where it left the main switch. He asked the capacity of individual remote control switches and whether means to take care of expansion and contraction had been taken care of.
Mr. Manheimer said that expansion and contraction of busbars, both lateral and vertical had been provided for.
Mr. MacNary called attention to the possibility of different directors using different quantities of light at their work, rendering impossible the acceptance of calculation based upon candle foot illumination in studios. He also called attention to the high cost of installing the system advocated.
