| 1879 | d. Theodore Hyatt, New York City |
| 1886 | "Mr. Hyatt will occupy a large stand in the centre of the hall for the purpose of exhibiting his lens lights applied in a very great variety of ways. In these lens lights each glass is formed of a series of lights with the object of getting the greatest possible superficial area for the transmission of light, whilst at the same time the lenses serve as a protection to the other portions of the surface. These lights are applicable for roofs as well as floors, and as shown in Mr. Hyatt's method of fixing are admirably adapted to take the place of the ordinary skylight, which is so liable to damage in stormy and snowy weather and offers a ready vent in cases of fire to feed the flames. The modicum of light obtained through the medium of these lens lights is very great, and Mr. Hyatt's arrangements for its uniform distribution are very clever. In the case of basements where it is required a silvered reflector can be introduced, so contrived that it can be raised or lowered at will. This throws the light into any part of the room without in any way interfering with the rays thrown directly downwards from the area lights. This will be shown at the exhibition, as also illuminating or wrought iron flap doors in guttered frames to prevent leakage at joints, together with a number of applied lens and other lights, to inside and outside work. It may be of interest to state that amongst a host of buildings in which Mr. Hyatt's system has found adoption are the Royal Courts of Justice, the Royal Exchange, the British Museum, the residential mansions of the Duke of Westminster, Lord Elcho, Sir W. G. Armstrong, Sir R. B. Harvey, etc., and warehouses, banks, hotels, stations, and business premises too numerous to mention." —The British Architect, Volume 25, April 2, 1886 |
