Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to deal with a very specialized phase of the motion picture industry; that is, its hazards of fire and consequent accident, as due not solely but chiefly to the prevalent use of nitrocellulose film. Consideration is given to the causes of hazards and an attempt made to show that they are real and what is being done about them. The many organizations and groups concerned with and supporting the cause of fire prevention and protection in the industry are described briefly as to their basic organization and methods, and are then correlated. As distinguished from the recommended Regulations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and the National Fire Protection Association, which in general specify the safe methods of installation and use of needed safeguards for apparatus and equipment in the field, the Standards of Underwriters' Laboratories specify the safe construction and performance of apparatus and equipment, and are applied and “policed” in the producing factories. The paper concludes with a discussion of some of the underlying considerations affecting the Standards of Underwriters' Laboratories as applied to projectors, rewind machines, sound amplifiers, speakers, etc.
