182 The Urban-Elmendorf Electric Arc Lamp as supplied with Bioscope Outfit " C ." . . , The URBAN-ELMENDORF ARC LAMP. This lamp differs from our other types inasmuch as the arrangement of the carbons (see illustration Urban Bioscope Outfit "C"') lends itself to the production of a perfectly white light on screen of greater intensity, the arc being produced from the carbon's at right angles, thus getting the full benefit of the crater formed en point of the top carbon, which results in greater efficiency of candle-power with less amperage of current This Lamp is especially recommended for use with alternating current to 60 amperes, but will not produce the best of results with direct current of greater amperage than 20.
