Fig. 9

Fig. 9 shows a globe filled with water, to be used at night to concentrate

the light on to the work. The light of the lamp is directly behind the

globe. A bull’s-eye lens can be used as a substitute and is equally good.

It is well to shield away by brown paper fixed to the top of the globe, or

other means, all light that does not fall on the block. It is most

unrestful to look up from work into the direct glare of a lamp; to work

without a globe or bull’s-eye with artificial light produces great

eye-strain and bad work. Good light is essential at all times.
