(1) Each bulkhead in tunnels of
twelve feet or more in diameter or equivalent area, shall have at
least two locks in perfect working condition, one of which shall
be used as an air lock. An additional lock for use in case of
emergency shall be held in reserve.
(2) The air lock shall be large enough so that those using
it are not compelled to be in a cramped position, and shall not
be less than five feet in height. Emergency locks shall be large
enough to hold an entire heading shift.
(3) All locks used for decompression shall be lighted by
electricity and shall contain a pressure gauge, a time piece, a
glass "bull's eye" in each door or in each end, and shall also
have facilities for heating.
(4) Valves shall be so arranged that the locks can be
operated both from within and from without.
