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 pe 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

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 A.S.H.V.E. 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 over a quarter of a century KNOWLES has devoted itself to one specialized field--the manufacture of air diffusers for auditoriums.
