[MassHistPres] Dale Lights

[Steinitz, Michael @ SEC]

Lynn,

A quick Google search will get you information on Dale's Improved
Concrete Patents and Dale's Improve Illuminating Lights. This is a
concrete illuminating tile vault light system patented in 1879.  See for
example http://www.glassian.org/Prism/TiceJacobs/IDC/page9.html

Has anyone heard of "Dale Lights"? They appear on some late 19th century
construction drawings and seem to be some kind of borrowed light system
- perhaps a skylight above transoms. 

Thanks.
