Abstract :
LUMINAIRES which are modern in design, simple, and dignified in effect, illuminate the grand foyer of the International Music Hall, part of the Radio City group, New York, N. Y. The 2 large chandeliers, one of which is shown in this view, are each approximately 29 ft long and weigh 2 tons. There is an inner cylinder of heat resisting molded glass, 16 ft long and 2 ft in diameter, surrounded by an outer ring of grooved glass tubes which are also heat resisting. Within the cylinder are 98 outlets with 40-watt lamps. The 6 large wall units are of the same general material, each bracket being designed for 1,300 watts and having a weight of approximately 950 lb. Unusually good illumination is secured on the huge mural.
