Q. Was John Monteith Gates the lighting consultant for The Metropolitan Opera?

Our library does not have archives for Lobmeyr.  I have photocopied the information I have found(some in German, most in English), which I would like to mail to you.  I am not seeing any mention of Monteith’s name, but just the designer, who was a member of the family firm. Apparently the same fixtures were also installed in the Kennedy Center.  I regret that we do not have any trade/company catalogs from that time period; it is possible that similar lighting fixtures were sold by the company as well.  I also came across some correspondence in the Carder Archives with Monteith’s name on it.
