First edition, Narrow octavo. 40 pp. plus a large folding plan of a properly constructed projection booth. Of those 40 pages, seven are views of movie theater and nickelodeon plans that incorporate the new laws. Publisher's printed and stapled brown wrappers. Near fine condition. OCLC locates only two copies.Projection booths and the nitrate film stock led to a great many fires in the early days of the motion picture industry. Likely more harm was dome to the public buy the stampeding than the fire itself. In the diagram of a properly constructed projection both we can see that asbestos was liberally used.
