An interesting point to investigate is the relation of the output to input; that is, the ratio of the total emitted light to the total exciting energy.
The filament is capable of subdivision, with the result that such lamps vary from the minutest spark of the smallest miniature lamp to the enormous output of the largest gas-filled tungsten lamp.
This decreases the size of the filament eventually to the breaking-point and the blackening of the bulb decreases the output of light.

How is this inconceivably vast output of energy maintained practically invariable throughout the centuries?
Shrinkage means evolution of heat; and it is found by calculation that if the sun were to contract its diameter by shrinking only two-hundred and fifty feet per year, the entire output of solar heat might thus be accounted for.
There is sufficient in the sun to maintain itsoutput of heat for fifteen billion years.
They also no longer restricted output to keep prices high, but geared to export many inexpensive goods.
The gold workers enjoyed an expansion of output springing naturally from the surplus wealth in secular hands, and a similar lot fell to the workers in silks and embroideries; both industries produced materials of a high artistic quality.
If any set of causes can be singled out from the rest, it is probable that those having to do with the political and economic decline of the country as a whole affected, also, the intellectual output of the country.
The fame of the laws of Alfonso X and of Alfonso XI has obscured the legislation of other reigns, but the output of the other kings was great in quantity, if less in importance than that of the two Alfonsos.

This gives the average amount of the output each class of consumers will use during the average life of the new contract.
Add to the last year's output the percentage found above, this result representing the output for the first year of the new contract.
Put these into percentages of the amount of the average output for the five years, and then use the percentages as the amount each class of consumer will use of the average output found in (I) during the period of the new contract.
The average of these results will be the average estimated output during the life of the new contract.
II) Next find the amount of the total output each class of consumers used during each of the five years, and then find the average yearly use during this period.

But any endeavour to further shorten and intensify the working-day might injure the workers, even though theiroutput were increased.
So long as industry was limited by the labour of the human body, assisted but slightly by natural forces and working with simple tools, the output of productive energy could seldom outstrip the present demand for consumable goods.
A closely-formed combination of northern coalowners continued to restrict output and impose monopoly prices upon London consumers for a considerable time in the middle of the eighteenth century.
But the possibility that short hours and high wages may stimulate an injurious compression of the output of productive effort is one which must not be overlooked in considering the influence of new industrial methods upon labour.
