640 RICHARDSON'S BLVBBOOK OF PROJECTION
At some convenient time after hours the entire theatre staff should listen to sound and compare what they hear (especially with respect to high frequencies) when the volume is progressively lowered.

This person should either be chosen as observer, or, if his other duties prevent this, as a "standard listener" against whom all candidates for the post of observer should be tested by a similar procedure. A multiple-frequency test reel, such as the one offered by the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, provides ideal sound for this test.
Routine After the Show
(22) Any defects in the condition or functioning of the equipment that may have been discovered during the day, either by inspection or in the. course of operation, and were not completely and finally cured at the time, should be repaired before the projectionist leaves the theatre. Only very minor matters should ever be left to the pre-show routine of the following morning, and in every such case the projectionist should take care to post up a reminder for himself.
Reminders should always be posted in connection with any matter whatever that is carried over another day. If, for example, a certain part has shown indications of possibly causing trouble, and needs watching, always thumbtack a reminder to that effect on the bulletin board or on a convenient wall space.
Such reminders should of course be very complete and explicit if a relief projectionist or crew is to be on duty the day following.
Storage batteries (where used) are often put on charge after the end of the day's show, care being taken to use a low rate that will not overcharge the battery when no one is present to watch it.
In many theatres it is the practice to end the day's work by submitting a written report to the manager. It also is a common custom at the end of the day to draw up
