Cast iron mushroom, successfully serving in over 5,000 buildings in U. S. and abroad. Provides correct draft-free distribution of air to each individual in any size auditorium, orchestra or bal cony. Close regulation of air--10 differ ent adjustments for all possible condi tions.

Easy, permanent anchorage to wood, concrete or monolithic floors.
PROPER auditorium ventilation is now recognized to be a combination of temperature, air motion and distribu tion, humidity, dust, bacteria, odors, and carbon dioxide. Air motion and distribution is second only to tempera ture in importance. The Synthetic Air Chart adopted by the ASHAE takes into account all of these factors and makes it possible to arrive at an average which will show the percentage of ven tilation obtained in any given installa tion.
For nearly a half century KNOWLES has devoted itself to one specialized field --the manufacture of air diffusers for auditoriums.

KNOWLES NU-NOTCH MUSHROOM AIR DIFFUSER
For Auditoriums
MODERN practice shows that 8 cu ft of fresh air per minute per person is ample to keep the air in an auditorium free of odors; and to maintain body heat and to balance the outdoor heat of a. warm summer's day, about 20 cu ft per minute per person must be introduced. The accurate amount becomes an engi neering problem too extended for this outline.
Of the 20 cu ft per minute per person introduced, 12 cu ft may be recirculated, economizing heat in winter and cooling in summer. If too much air is recircu lated, odors will result; and when smok ing is to be allowed, much more new air must be introduced.
. Adaptability of the KNOWLES Mushroom Air Diffuser. In an auditorium seatr.
ing 2000, requiring 40,000 cfm, it is desired to use 6 in. diam NU-NOTCH Mushrooms with air velocity of 600 fpm. By referring to the table below, it will be seen that, a 6 in. mushroom will exhaust 120 cfm. Dividing 40,000 cfm by 120 indicates 333
units are required.
