Summary

Gaseous discharge lamps in operation, Unley Road. Attached to the back of the photograph is the following: "An extract from the Proceedings at the 33rd Annual General Meeting of the Adelaide Electric Supply Company Ltd. November 19, 1937. A year of so ago we reported the introduction of new high efficiency gaseous discharge lamps for street purposes, and of the experimental installations made in the City and Port Adelaide. These lamps were all approximately 1,000 cp and as such were probably not suitable for most street lighting. Since that date manufacturers have developed smaller units, and gaseous discharge lamps are now available in 250 and 400 cp. This will enable our Public Authorities to make use of these improved lamps in large numbers for street lighting purposes. We recently invited members of the various Corporations and District Councils in the metropolitan area to witness comparative installations of these lamps". The photograph taken at night, shows a part of Unley Road with light gleaming on the wet road and tram lines.
