Section 61 in The Meghalaya Cinemas (Regulation) Rules
61. Resistances.
- Resistance frames shall be made entirely of fire-resisting and shall be so constructed and maintained that no coil or other part shall at any time become unduly heated. All resistances with the exception of resistance for "effect" (dimming) purposes, or the resistance for the regulation of the Motor Generator set for the control of the supply to the Projector Are, if that resistance be of parallel type shall be placed outside the enclosure and if inside the auditorium they shall be adequately protected by a wire guard or other efficient means against accidental contact. They shall not be permitted to become so heated that a piece of dry newspaper placed in contract with any part of the resistance would ignite. The operator shall satisfy himself before the commencement of each performance that all cables, leads, connections and resistances are in proper order. The resistances if not under constant observation, shall be inspected at least once during each performance. If any fault is detected current shall be immediately switched off and shall remain switched off until the fault has been remedied.
