In such case The Advertising & Publicity Bureau Ltd. will undertake the dressing and lighting of the Exhibitor's stand and the display of his goods, and will be responsible for conforming with the rules and regulations of the Trade Fair.
Exhibitors wishing to take advantage of these facilities should make early application to the Organizers, giving full particulars of their proposed exhibit. This service is undertaken at their usual agency fee of 15%.

8. Full details of Exhibitors' requirements of electric light or power must be ledged with the Organizers not later than October 15, 1935. failing which the stand will be lighted as directed by the Organizers at the Exhibitor's expense. All lighting schemes and requirements of Power must receive the Organizers' approval in writing. The work must be carried out by contractors registered with the China Light & Power Co., Ltd. at the expense of the Exhibitor, and in accordance with the requirements of the China Light & Power Co., Ltd. Exhibitors shall not, by reason of their having secured Organizers' approval of their proposed scheme, be released from the obligation to comply with such requirements.
All current, whether for light or power, consumed on the premises must be obtained from the mains of the China Light & Power Co., Ltd.
The supply of current available for lighting is single phase, alternating current at 200 volts, 60 cycles. The supply is given in the form of a 3-phase, 4-wire supply, and all lighting will have to be balanced between the 3-phases and neutral.
The supply of power for motors over and above 2 h.p. will be given at 346 volts, 3-phase, 60 cycles; for motors under 2 h.p., if necessary, the supply can be given in the form of a single phase, 200 volts, 60 cycle supply.
All supplies of electricity will be charged by meter. Separate meters for each type of current will be supplied, fixed at one central point and afterwards removed by the China Light & Power Co., Ltd.
It will be the practice of the Trade Fair staff to switch the current off from the mains each evening at the closing hour, but it will often be necessary to switch on the current for various purposes at night, early in the morning or during week-ends. Exhibitors shall therefore switch off all the current on their respective stands cach evening at closing time to prevent wastage of light and power during their absence, otherwise their meters will register this waste, and the current consumed will be registered against the Exhibitor.
