We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
312 STORAGE AND HANDLING OF FILM [j. s. M.p. E.
(22) Motion Picture Film Exchanges
(23) Motion Picture Film Laboratories
(24) Motion Picture Studios
(1) Application of Rules. — These regulations are intended to apply to the storage and handling of nitrocellulose motion picture film, in all places except establishments manufacturing such film and storage incident thereto. They are not intended to apply to the storage and handling of film having a cellulose acetate or other approved slow-burning base nor to photographic and X-ray film. (See separate regulations on Photographic and X-ray Film.)
(2) Scope of Regulations. — (a) These regulations are intended to provide reasonable provisions for the storage and handling of motion picture film, based on minimum requirements for safety to life and property from fire.
(6) It is strongly recommended that film exchanges, laboratories, and studios be permitted only in sprinklered buildings of fireproof* construction. In buildings of non-fireproof construction which have been adapted to such occupancies, automatic sprinklers should be installed as hereinafter specified and suitable fire cut-offs provided between each room in which film is handled or stored and other sections of the building, and adequate exit facilities provided. Suitable requirements will be found in the Recommended Building Code of the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
(3) Arrangement of Regulations. — (a) These regulations are divided into two parts : Part I gives general provisions regarding the storage and handling of film; Part II gives special provisions for special occupancies as motion picture theaters, exchanges, laboratories, and studios, which apply in addition to any and all of the general provisions which may also be applicable.
(b) The grouping of the special provisions under the heading of special occupancies is merely for convenience in the application of these regulations. Any particular process or operation in any type of occupancy shall be governed by the provisions given for that process or operation, whether under the heading of that occupancy or any other heading, unless otherwise specifically provided herein.
* The term "fireproof" is used as defined in the Building Code of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and as having in these regulations the same meaning as the term "fire-resistive" as used by the National Fire Protection Association.
