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.

A simple and efficient type of expansion bolt appears to have simplified the problem of fixing to all-concrete floors, and Pixtons have used these with some success at the new Paramount Theatres at Liverpool and Glasgow. When this type of fixing is more, widely known there will be a tendency to eliminate wood floors and fixings in favour of concrete, which, of course, has been standard practice in the States for some time.
It is the experience of Beck and Windibank that nearly all tip-up chairs now supplied have multi-sprung seats containing 12-16 springs with a woven-wire mattress mesh top, thus making them much softer than the old type of seat, whilst the standards adjoining the gangways are usually solid and of a more ornate type than those used inside the rows. In the best parts of the theatre, sponge rubber upholstered arms are invariably fitted, and the Dunlopillo arm, which is the best of its type, is being used by the best firms.
