Articles of great size or weight, the delivery of which will require special arrangements, must be sent before Saturday, the 1st of February 1862; and manufacturers wishing to exhibit machinery, or other objects, that will require foundations or special constructions, must make a declaration to that effect on their demands for space.

Any exhibitor whose goods can properly be placed together, will be at liberty to arrange such goods in his own way, provided his arrangement is compatible with the general scheme of the Exhibition, and the convenience of other exhibitors.

Where it is desired to exhibit processes of manufacture, a sufficient number of articles, however dissimilar, will be required for the purpose of illustrating the process; but they must not exceed the number actually required. (17—25)*

Exhibitors will be required to deliver their goods at such part of the building as shall be indicated to them, with all necessary carriage, storage, and attendance charges, such as are paid. Upon receipt of notice from Her Majesty’s Commissioners that the articles are deposited in the building, exhibitors, or their representatives, or agents, must themselves unpack, put together, and arrange their goods.

Packing cases must be removed at the cost of the exhibitors, or their agents, as soon as the goods are examined and deposited in charge of the Commissioners. If not removed within three days of notice being given, they will be disposed of, and the proceeds, if any, applied to the funds of the Exhibition. (29—34)*

Stalls, or fittings, will be provided by Her Majesty’s Commissioners, if required and requested, subject only to the necessary general regulations, to be according to their own taste; all the counters, stands, glass frames, brackets, awnings, hangings, or similar contrivances which they may consider most calculated for the display of their goods.

Exhibitors, or their representatives, should provide whatever light temporary covering may be requisite (such as sheets of oiled calico), to protect their goods from dust; and, in the case of machinery, and polished goods, should make the requisite arrangements to prevent the articles from rust during the time of the Exhibition. (37—42)*

Exhibitors must be at the charge of insuring their own goods, should they desire this security. Every precaution will be taken to prevent fire, theft, or other losses, and Her Majesty’s Commissioners will give all the aid in their power for the legal prosecution of any person guilty of robbery, or wilful injury in the Exhibition, but they will not be responsible for losses or damage of any kind, which may be occasioned by fire or theft or in any other manner.

Exhibitors may employ assistants (male or female) to keep in order the articles they exhibit, or to explain them to visitors, after obtaining written permission from Her Majesty’s Commissioners; but such assistants will be forbidden to invite visitors to purchase the goods of their employers. (45—49)*

Articles once deposited in the building must not be removed, altered, or moved without written permission from Her Majesty’s Commissioners. (51—54)*

Her Majesty’s Commissioners will provide shaking steam (not exceeding 30 lbs. per inch), and water, at high pressure, for machines in motion.

Persons who may wish to exhibit machines, or trains of machinery, in motion, will be allowed to have them worked, as far as practicable, under their own superintendence, and by their own men. (57—59)*

Intending exhibitors, in the United Kingdom, are requested to apply, without delay, to the Secretary to Her Majesty’s Commissioners, for a Form of Demand for Space, stating at the same time in which of the four Sections they wish to exhibit.
