four porcelain socket rings or insulators. socket clusters are connected groups of lamp sockets that may be used in a single socket or as part of a fixture to permit several lamps to be burned simultaneously. they are frequently used for indirect and semi-indirect lighting fixtures or with glass balls or domes. this arrangement breaks up the light source into several smaller units and thus reduces the intrinsic brilliancy; it often gives a more artistic effect than a single lamp. the clusters are frequently arranged for mounting on an iron pipe or fixture stem, and in some forms are made with a plug at one end to screw into a medium-base socket. they are generally arranged so that only two wires need be connected to the cluster. from two to seven lamps are commonly used and the connections may be made so that the lamps are in series or parallel: the series connection is used chiefly for clusters used on 500 to 600-volt electric railway systems. special forms of clusters are made for domes or other large fixtures having as many as 20 lamps in the cluster, and arranged in various groupings. the patented cluster was manufactured by the benjamin electric co., chicago, il.

frequently used for indirect and semi-indirect lighting fixtures or with glass balls or domes. this arrangement breaks up the light source into several smaller units and thus reduces the intrinsic brilliancy; it often gives a more artistic effect than a single lamp. the clusters are frequently arranged for mounting on an iron pipe or fixture stem, and in some forms are made with a plug at one end to screw into a medium-base socket. they are generally arranged so that only two wires need be connected to the cluster. from two to seven lamps are commonly used and the connections may be made so that the lamps are in series or parallel: the series connection is used chiefly for clusters used on 500 to 600-volt electric railway systems. special forms of clusters are made for domes or other large fixtures having as many as 20 lamps in the cluster, and arranged in various groupings. the patented cluster was manufactured by the benjamin electric co., chicago, il. lightly incised patent

began his career by producing butter churns, but when mr. dazey came up with the idea for the \"floating arm\" portable light he decided to restructure his company into a lamp manufacturer that specialized in task lights. initially, dazor lights were used simply as table lamps, but after the beginning of world war ii, dazor lamps became famous for their high efficiency and lower costs. the government found that dazor's lamps helped to conserve energy and were cheaper than the traditional costly overhead lighting. dazor was also the first fluorescent lamp manufacturer to combine the technology of the portable task light with fluorescent light bulbs. the technology was highlighted in a display by general electric at the 1938 world's fair. the lamp became popular quickly,
