THE ECLIPSE
PATENT FOOT AND BORDER LIGHTS.

A new and improved Foot and Border Light for Oil , by which the lights
can be turned up and down at one time as as Gas or Electric Lighting. Safe
and economical. Every stage that is lighted by oil should have them. They
fill a long felt want, and add greatly to the effect of the play.

We believe that in our new Light we have the acme of perfection It is simple
in constructions and it is sure in action. It cannot, with anything like fair usage,
possibly get out of order. The action on all burners is the same, and the darkening
of the stage may be done slowly or quick as a flash light if desired.
One great advantage of these Lights is that they can be worked on any circle,
and they are easily operated from behind the curtain on the stage. A lever rod with
spring pull operates an arm attachment connected with the burner tubes, which,
raised or lowered at will, gives the desired effect of light or darkness. Any number
of lights can be used, either in a straight line or in a circle.
The above prices include the necessary Pulleys for operating Foot Lights from
behind curtain, and also the Iron Hangers for Border Lights. A 10-Burner Foot
Light boxed ready for shipment weighs but 22 pounds. No Chimneys shipped. No charge for boxing or drayage.
