...yellow-green filter controls other cells, and a greenish-blue filter controls the balance. Three separate electrical transmission channels must be used. A red gelatin filter makes the bright red neon light the same shade as the receiving cell registered. The yellow-green-sensitized waves go to an argon lamp which glows through a green filter. The greenish-blue-sensitized waves affect another argon lamp with, in this case, a blue filter. Mirrors focus the fluctuating glows of all three receiving lamps on a single spot and as that spot rapidly weaves across a peephole, an observer perceives a scene...
...Rentschler uranium bulb is exposed to an ultraviolet ray source an electric charge is created in proportion to the ray's intensity. This charge is accumulated in a condenser until a given potential is set up. Then the condenser discharges and, in the Rentschler meter, makes an argon tube give out a bluish flash and simultaneously causes a pencil to mark the occurrence on a chart. The time between the flashes and the tracings on the chart measures the strength of the ultraviolet rays...
...weeks the chosen wheat of California saw the light of twelve argon-filled lamps, 300-candlepower each. Touched by no sun's ray, rooted in no soil, the wheat grew and flourished, drawing sustenance from jars of water in which the necessary chemical elements were dissolved. Although sun was excluded from the green house, the sun rays which contribute to plant growth were present in the electric light rays...
...device in which the opening or closing of a circuit causes the opening or closing of a more powerful circuit. The ordinary relay will control a current only 10,000 times greater than the current that controls it. Dr. Knowles's new relay?a tube type, containing neon or argon gas?would control a current about 100,000,000 times as great as its controlling current. Photoelectrically adjusted, it could be operated by passing shadows...
