Inventions Guard Against Sunburn Feature New Ultraviolet Tools
Dr. Robert C. Burt of Pasadena California has devised a device that in minutes indoors reveals a person’s sunburn susceptibility using a quartz tube mercury vapor lamp to project artificial UV rays on skin. A second instrument with a photo electric cell measures real time sun UV intensity, which Edison Pettit notes can vary over fifty percent in four years. Burt envisions portable tools and beach observatories giving sunburn light readings for bathers.
