More than 100 miles of electric cable have been used for the wiring of the interior of the Exhibition building. The wiring presented several difficult problems and every type of cable has,, been used including some specially made for the distribution of the huge electric load. The peak load for the Exhibition lighting will be 5000 kilowatts which is equal to 6250 horse power. An outstanding feature of the interior lightning is the illumination of the main foyer in the tower block where an atmosphere of rich colour has been obtained to fit in with the striking architecture of this section of the buildings.
