Abstract :
An electrically illuminated pan-chromatic fountain adorns the plaza in front of the Union Railroad Station at Dallas, Texas. This fountain consists of a large basin, fifty feet in diameter, inside of which is an elevated inner basin fourteen and one-half feet across. From the center of this basin a jet of water rises to a height of seventy-five feet, illumined to the very top by beams of light, constantly changing color, from four powerful incandescent searchlights concealed in a glass-covered room beneath the fountain. The effect is further enhanced by eight small jets rising from the large basin, each lighted from beneath by the colored light from a 500-watt lamp, while eight dolphins in the small basin throw streams toward the central jet.
