A MODEL PROJECTION ROOM 23 shutters made of No. 10 gauge iron and set in iron guides one or more inches wide at the sides and bottom. When closed, the shutter must overlap the top of the port by at least one inch. For complete fire protection, all shutters must be interconnected so that they will close simultaneously upon the operation of a mechanical releasing device or the operation of a fusible link. Each shutter must have its individual Electrical Conduits and Circuits The location of the projectors should previously be determined so that the electrical conduits may be properly located under the projector bases. When the booth is provided with two projectors, their exact centers should be two feet six inches on either side of the median line of the theatre. The only variance in the location of projectors will be the distance from the center MEDIAN LINE OF THEATRE SPOTL/QHT PORT PROJECTOR PORTS 0 m= BD PRE-AMPLIEIER CONTROL CABINET :£ * If"* OBSERVATION PORTS ED *l <f ^ STAGE CURTAIN SWITCHES & A WALL RECEPTACLES B CONDUIT IN WALL TO D C CONTROL PANEL A NO MOTOR GENERATOR FOR SPOT VIA POLAR IZgp PLUG BOX.

All Motiograph projectors and most other standard projectors of modern design have an opening in the base long enough to provide for this variance. The conduits for arc lamps and projectors therefore may be installed thirty inches from the front wall, regard
