Safety Requirements in Projection Rooms and Television Studios

Samuel R. Todd

Nitrate film has imposed special requirements on projection-room design for many years. The advent of 35mm safety film may change some of these, and this possibility is discussed. The increasing use of films, both nitrate and safety types, in television studio operations calls for similar precautions, and the presence of considerable electronic equipment adds to the normal hazards. These hazards and certain others peculiar to live program presentations are discussed. Safety problems involved in the installation and operation of high-voltage television equipment in theaters are outlined.
