1Opinion of the Court
MANTON, Circuit Judge.
Tetters patent No. 1,009,502 were issued to Barney Goldman, the assignor of the appellant. The patent is for a skylight. It is intended primarily to be used on theaters and buildings where large audiences congregate. It is so designed as to operate automatically, thereby opening a number of apertures located in the frame of the skylight. In this way the smoke and flames are drawn to the skylight, avoiding the suffocation of the people gathered in the building. The skylight is usually built to comply with the laws of localities as to size.
