Abstract
IN 1938 publicity was first given to the use of radiant heat from electric lamps for the acceleration of paint drying. Since then the technique has been developed and extended, and now radiant heating is being used in many different industrial processes. Other sources of heat have been introduced. The present book, written by a lamp engineer, is concerned primarily with the use of electric lamps ; and it describes in some detail the properties and design of lamps, reflectors, conveyors and other associated equipment for a very wide range of applications. A most notable feature is the inclusion of more than a hundred illustrations of working installations.
