suitable fixtures, and when carried in same entry as the positive
wire, shall be carried on the same side of the entry as the positive wire, and as close to it as practicable. When machine or feed wires are carried in same entry as trolley wire, they shall be placed on the same side as the trolley wire, between trolley wire and rib. Nothing in the foregoing shall require negative wires being carried in same entry with positive wire. [=Wires in shafts or slopes.=] When necessary to carry wires down shafts or slopes used as travelways, the wires must be thoroughly cased or protected, so that persons cannot be shocked therefrom. [=Wires; how placed in rooms.=] Positive machine feed wires, when extended into rooms, shall be placed not nearer than four feet of the track, where the room is of sufficient width, and the same shall only be connected to the positive wire or wires on the entry while in actual use. The material used for making such connection shall be of sufficient length to reach across the entry, and when same is disconnected, it shall be kept with the machine operating at such point or working place. No electric wires shall be extended into any room unless a one hundred and fifty foot cable will not reach the face of the room, and then not beyond the outside corner of the last breakthrough. [=Protection of terminal ends.=] All terminal ends of positive wires shall be guarded so as to prevent persons inadvertently coming in contact therewith. |
