Abstract
The development of thermionic tubes has opened an entirely new field in control of theater lighting. This development has made possible the obtaining of preset dimming proportional dimming, and a small compact switchboard such as has been heretofore impossible. The preset dimming feature allows an operation whereby a board may be set up for any desired number of effects in advance, so that these effects may be called for at the will of the operator by operating a single control. This feature might be termed an ability of the switchboard to learn effects and bring them out when called upon by its master, the operator. Proportional dimming, a new feature, allows the lights to be controlled in such a manner that they may be dimmed out in combinations while retaining the same color tone throughout the dimming process. The third desirable feature is that a small compact control board may be so arranged that it can be placed as desired in the orchestra pit, or some similar location so that the operator becomes a light artist, taking his place in the performance along with the organist or other artists.
