Hi Mitch,
It would be very useful if the two fluorescent ceiling fixtures over
the press shop had four bulbs instead of two bulbs in them. The two
fixtures closest to the yellow wall. And if the green dots were
replaced by whatever indicates that the fixtures use four bulbs.
Could you please, as Office Manager, ask the CAC or whomever, to do
this. Or ask the appropriate AX officer/brother to do so.
There is just not enough light back there to set or distribute the
smaller type faces.
Note that the lights back there are usually only on when someone is
using the shop.
If MIT won't do this, the press shop will have to see about getting
task lighting, but it be hard to set that up on the type cabinets.
Please let me know what happens.
Thanks!
Some history. When the Student Center was new, all the fixtures had
four bulbs in them. Then the oil crisis hit in the early 1970s, and
MIT got into energy conservation. One thing they did was to label
each fluorescent fixture as to how many bulbs it should have: none,
two, or four. The labeling was done with colored dots. Green means
two bulbs in the Student Center.
