wide for its entire length. Side aisles are usually 30 inches to 36 inches wide at first row, increasing in width as do the center aisles. These measurements are also governed by build- ing codes. A theatre between 60 and 90 feet in width should always have two center and two side aisles laid out in what is known as left, cen- ter and right sections. The usual code governing the number of chairs to a row is: "There shall not be more than six chairs between any one chair and an aisle, which means fourteen chairs are permissible to a row in center bank between the two center aisles, and not over seven chairs between any aisle, and the boxes (having no aisle) or between an aisle and a wall." Installing Seats In the installation of seats on concrete floors, No. 1420 :}-inch machine screws should be used, two to each leg of the standard. The expansions are set and fitted into holes in the cement floor, drilled with a 9/16-inch drill. The reason for using only two expansions and screws instead of four in the leg of each standard is that if one of the screws becomes loose through drilling, weakness of cement or improper installation of expansion shells, it can loosen only the one other screw instead of three, and permits the drilling of two entirely new holes, and putting in two new expansions in the opposite corners of the base of the standard. 79
