Paint Brush Is Current Saver
Lighting experts at a wartime conference of the National Illuminating Society proposed salvaging waste light for the war effort. In a paper by Arthur Brainerd and Robert Massey they outlined four steps: repaint ceilings white, walls light green for 65 percent reflection, horizontal surfaces with at least 40 percent reflection, and give machines a 3D finish with light colored contrasts. Additional speakers urged color schemes to boost production efficiency by 3 to 25 percent through better lighting.
