Color advertisement for the General Aniline & Film Corporation describing their fadeometer testing program. A fadeometer is an accelerated aging testing device that measures the colorfastness of a material - in this case, textiles, paper, or plastics - by exposing it to a high intensity of light to determine its resistance to fading. A matter of hours in a fadeometer approximates the effect of a much longer period of ordinary daylight.
