164 MOTOGRAPHY Vol. VI, No. 4. Part of the Lubin Laboratory. for night work and cloudy days. The studio possesses two doors, which are said by contractors to be the largest glass doors in the country, which are opened whenever occasion demands the augmenting of the studio. There are, of course, smaller doors which permit the introduction of anything less in size than a railroad train. In the trap door of the studio is an enormous tank, heated by steam coils, which makes the tank practical for winter work. This tank is also used, dry, for the insertion of a stairway so that the producers are enabled to give a view of a person coming from a lower floor to the next landing and then by erecting another stairway to continue their way by a second flight of stairs. The photographical portion of the plant is housed in a brick building two hundred and fifty feet long, fifty feet wide and two stories high. This building contains the developing plant, dry rooms, joining room, stock room, wardrobe room, carpenter shop, etc. The general offices of the concern are located in a four-story buildingninety feet long by forty feet wide. The shipping room is in the basement and occupies a space of forty by eighty feet. The entire top floor of this building is used for the manufacturing of projecting machines. Besides these main buildings there are other outlying buildings, one of which is a brick building eighteen by one hundred and twenty-five feet, which contains at one end a garage capable of holding ten large machines, while the rear end is set aside for the storage vault for films. This storage vault is strictly fire-proof and is divided into chambers in order to prevent the spread of any fire that might possibly start. There is also a high pressure steam heating plant and dynamo room. The plant is in the form of a quadrangle enclosed within a high board fence, to which there are but three entrances, one for pedestrians', one for general vehicles and the Another View of the Lubin Studio.
