FOR MANAGERS AND OPERATORS 597 The "Safety First" Film Magazine, manufactured in Baltimore, Md., is an excellent operating room film container. It is cylindrical in form, its frame being made of cast iron, and its lower ends and compartment walls of sheet steel with one-half inch air spaces between each compartment at each end, and on the lower half. Figure 286. The magazine is made to hold any number of reels desired. It occupies but little space, is claimed to be thoroughly fireproof and has many points to commend it. The cylindrical form prevents its being used as a catch-all for odds and ends. In operation when the compartment doors are lifted a wire loop automatically raises a curved casting in the bottom of the compartment, thus automatically raising the reel half way out of the magazine.
