holes with a J-inch drill in the aisles one foot apart on a line laid out by the carpet man. Any lumber mill will turn out the necessary number of g-inch wood dowels, 1^ inches long, and the carpet man can drive them in the holes. The carpet then can be laid by using r2-ounce tacks to be tacked in head of wood dowels. The mill will charge about one or one and a quarter cents apiece for the wood dow- els. Both methods of fastening carpets to cement floors may be dispensed with if, at the time of construction, where carpet is to be laid, 2-inch furring strips J inch thick, are sunk in the cement level with the surface. Where the strips are laid in the cement, a 10-ounce carpet tack will hold the carpet. If the seating plan is correctly laid out, so that aisles are not changed in location or width after the cement floor is laid, the strip arrangement can be used in the aisles as well as around the edge of all base boards or in front of all doors at floor level. Carpet is not being laid in many theatres between seats, except one-half width, which is 13^ inches, and in most of the new theatres having cement floors no carpets are laid be- tween any seats. Carpet should be laid the full width of aisles. 86
