at the disposal of the museum, the architect, Harold G. Wescott, and the lighting engineer, R. A. Arthur, of the Georgia Power Company, faced the problem of pro-
viding clean-cut gallery space for the illumination and exhibition of
At the time that the job
was
undertaken, the two galleries were badly cut with molded plaster beams and the foyer was heavily decorated.
In solving these problems, the ceilings were lowered to provide a continuous level that would con-
nect both galleries and the foyer.
Walls were furred out to give maximum space for hanging pictures. The walls of the galleries were covered with plywood and rubber backed monks cloth, while the walls of the lobby were paneled in walnut flexwood. Troffer fixtures were recessed in the center of the ceiling to provide general illumination in the galleries. Forty-watt fluorescent lamp strips were recessed in the ceiling along the side walls of the rooms in order to light the pictures without getting a shadowing effect
from the frames. Provision for flexible spotlights were made in the ceilings of both galleries should
local illumination ever be needed.
Dropped flexible floodlights (shown on the cover) were used in
the foyer to highlight wall pictures. Incandescent fixtures were used
to provide general
lighting.

The ultraviolet energ:y is supplied by eight large General Electric Uviarc lamps equipped with suitable filters and a number of household sun lamps. Radiant infra red is furnished by 192 incandescent Iamps
arranged on switching circuits which permit variations in heat control for comfort. Approximately 50,000 watts comparable to a major broadcasting station-are consumed at full operation. Since individuals vary widely in adaptability to tanning effect, the intensity of ultraviolet radiations varies from place to place in the room so that a sunbather may choose a spot suitable to his skin.
