Abstract: "The new equipment consists of 150 General Electric direct-current, 6.6-ampere series ornamental luminous arc lamps, equipped with 8-panel alabaster globes of pleasing design. The lamps are placed on top of ornamental posts, with a mounting of 14 feet 6 inches to the light source. The standards are located approximately 100 feet apart, on each side of the street with staggered arrangement, and are operated from two circuits, so that lamps on alternate sides of the street can be extinguished after midnight, with the exception of lamps adjacent to the Town Hall, which burn all night. Each lamp has a series absolute plug cutout installed in the base of the ornamental pole, and when the plug is removed all connection between lamp and line is absolutely opened. For convenience in trimming, a 750-pound electric truck was converted into a tower-wagon. This has been found almost indispensable when changing arc lamps or cleaning the globes, and in addition is used for renewing burned-out series incandescent lamps." W. D. Jennings, pp. 400-401. |

Abstract: "In December of 1950 the family and the press were moved to what has become our permanent address in Stamford, Connecticut. This time the press went underground, to the basement. It was here that the original press mark was devised. In 1952 author Robert Lowery sold me the types and press which he and Flora had used for their Little Man Press publishing venture in Cincinnati. ... Our old garage was converted to a suitable home for the 8 X 12 C & P treadle platen, the type cases plus all the original gear. I now had an honest-to-God Printing Office. Printing got under way with a zeal that bordered on passion. In a light airy room I started throwing off manifestos, announcements, proclamations, invitations, and with the aid of extension guides knocking out 11 X 14 inch, multi-colour posters. I was cutting enough linoleum to pave the street in front of our home on Rachelle Avenue. I finally had a real job printing facility. Within a short period work from the press started interesting the graphic arts community. I became very active in the Type Directors' Club, the American Institute of Graphic Arts, the N. Y. Art Directors' Club, the Typophiles and the N.Y. Chapel. I became an officer or director in a couple of the organizations. I started giving slide presentations and talks on private printing. I lectured to several different groups in Washington, Wichita, St. Louis, and Indianapolis. There were a dozen or more one-man exhibits of work from the Press. ... Designing, illustrating, and printing posters are the most satisfying and rewarding work that is done at the Press. Producing a good poster demands more of whatever skills that I have than any other work. Posters offer me the opportunity to play with colour, I mix inks like working on painting. Rarely are they less than three colours and occasionally as many as six. They give me the opportunity of drawing and cutting linoleum. I play with make ready, cut Philippine Mahogany and scratch into acrylic for plates, for textures, and coverage. I find typography for posters most challenging. Display faces are easily and quickly settled. A principal theme must be established immediately with type and art. When successful, a poster interests, informs and hopefully influences."
