collaborator, has, in the judgment of the jury, shown
more than ordinary skill in connection with an exhibit. A
collaborator is a person who has distinguished himself as the
designer or producer of remarkable objects shown at the
exposition. He is not a person who has merely aided in the
arrangement or installation of exhibits.
In order that this may be equitably accomplished, each exhibitor
who has received an award may furnish the chief of his
respective department, for transmission to the proper jury, a
list of the names of his collaborators, arranged in order of
merit, based on skill, ability, magnitude and value of work, and
length of service. It will then remain for the jury of awards to
determine whether the assistance rendered by the persons named
in the manner described has been sufficient to entitle them, or
any of them, to the rank of collaborator, and to name the award
which may be conferred therefor.
24. Whenever it is applicable, a decimal scale system shall be
used in judging the merits of exhibits, 100 representing
perfection; and as a suggestion to juries, for instance, in
commercial exhibits, the following is offered:
(a) Value of the product, process, machine or device, as
measured by its usefulness, its beneficent influence on mankind
in its physical, mental, moral, and educational aspects.
Counting not to exceed 25.
(b) Skill and ingenuity displayed in the invention,
construction, and application. Counting not to exceed 25.
(c) Merits of the installation as to the ingenuity and taste
displayed, the cost and value as an exposition attraction.
Counting not to exceed 10.
(d) Magnitude of the business represented, as measured by the
gross sales during the calendar year preceding the opening of
the exposition. Counting not to exceed 10.
(e) Quality or cheapness, with reference to the possession by
the exhibit of the highest possible quality, or the fact that
the article is sold at so low a price with reference to its
quality as to make it a valuable acquisition to the purchaser.
Counting not to exceed 10.
(f) For completion of installation within required time and for
excellence of maintenance. Counting not to exceed 10.
(g) Length of time exhibitor has been in business as showing
whether exhibit is a development of original i
