Luckiesh, lighting expert. "Achievement has lagged far behind knowledge in the art of illumination," says Dr. Luckiesh. "While students of the application and use of artificial light have made available highly efficient in- stallations, their use has only recently been taken up." The light supplied in the average fac- tory at present is less than 10 foot- candles, according to Dr. Luckiesh, who says: "In my own lifetime I expect to see 100 foot-candles become the standard for ariificial illumination, and eventually 500 foot-candles 'will become feasible 2.

A foot-candle is one candle power of light at a distance of one foot from the object illuminated. Quantity of light alone does not make adequate illumination, and the nature' of the work done is of vital importance in establishing standards of lighting.
