YOU CAN BUILD A DRIVE-IN<br />
Continued from page 61<br />
only remaining problem is the attraction<br />
board.<br />
Several of the larger sign contractors<br />
throughout the United States have developed<br />
stock types of attraction boards<br />
that may be purchased at a very nominal<br />
price. The majority of these boards do<br />
make use of steel frames and since the sign<br />
is an adjunct of the theatre, its erection is<br />
a part of the project, and compliance must<br />
be made with Order M-4A. If the addition<br />
of the sign would bring the total tonnage<br />
of steel on the job to more than the<br />
prescribed weight, or if the cost of<br />
the prefabricated attraction board is greater<br />
than the exhibitor desires to invest, it<br />
is a simple matter to design a wood board<br />
that will be satisfactory.<br />
We can now readily understand how<br />
drive-in theatres may be erected under<br />
NPA Order M-4A when they were practically<br />
prohibited under the original NPA<br />
Order M-4.<br />
Razed Materials Count<br />
It is<br />
important for theatremen who plan<br />
to use materials from a razed building in<br />
constructing a new drive-in that the restricted<br />
materials which they thus acquire<br />
must be counted in the total of such materials<br />
permitted by the NPA. That is, both<br />
new and old materials may not exceed the<br />
allowance of two tons of carbon steel and<br />
200 pounds of copper.<br />
Insure Drive-In Equipment<br />
When It Is In Storage<br />
Drive-in owners should be certain to<br />
maintain insurance coverage on equipment<br />
placed in storage warehouses during the<br />
closed season. If the warehouse provides<br />
insurance it should be so stated upon the<br />
receipt.<br />
MAINTENANCE POINTS<br />
Continued from page 64<br />
Maintain adequate insurance coverage<br />
at all times. The courts are being<br />
very liberal in awarding judgment in<br />
personal injury cases.<br />
Keep the shrubbery trimmed, the lawn<br />
areas cut, and the flower gardens<br />
weeded.<br />
^ ^ ^<br />
Have frequent inspections of all seating<br />
facilities and check for pitch<br />
pockets, splinters or other conditions<br />
that might cause injury to a patron's<br />
person or clothing.<br />
^ ^ ^<br />
Keep aU directional and other signs<br />
freshly painted.<br />
^ ^ ^<br />
Train ushers to watch ramps for<br />
empty bottles or other items that may<br />
be discarded from the cars and which<br />
may cause injury to a patron or to automobile<br />
tires.<br />
