THE GIANT SCINTILLATOR, A TWO BILLION CANDLE POWER AURORA
Back:
The most outstanding effect in night il-
lumination is produced by the scintillator,
consisting of a battery of twenty-four arc
searchlights having a total light output of
1,920,000,000' candlepower. Mounted on
swivel and trunnion bases, these 36-inch
projectors may be turned at any angle, to
shoot variegated patterns of colored light
into the sky. The scintillator is located on
the shore of Lake Michigan just south of
the Travel and Transport Building, and
nightly paints the sky in brilliant orange,
blue, purple, green, and rainbow hues, great
pencils of colored light ever flashing in
changing patterns.
