The valve shall be closed when the ventilator is not in use, by means of a cord the end of which shall be at the prompter’s box. Such cord shall be of combustible material, and so arranged that if it breaks the ventilator will open automatically. The inspector may, at his discretion, require that such a ventilator be made in theatres built on or before the 25th of April, 1908.
