AU- if 50 SAFES. Ma LILLIE'S CHILLED-IRON SAFE 11—rnal " - ITS VERY GREAT 2.ND IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES AP FIRE-PROOF. TO TITS PUBLIC. I propose, in this article, to point out some of the many _advantages the Chilled-Iron: Safe has over the sheet-non or common Safe. as promised heretofore. But, before I proceed. it may be proper to state that. having been in the Safe business over six years. In both city and country, and having traveled in this business over much of the Eastern, Middle, and Western States, I have never found a circular lamed by any Safe-maker which even pretended in the least to enlighten the peo ple as to the fundamental principles applicable to the Safe, either as a fire or burglar-proof ; and I can say, also, that during this time I have scarcely founds, man, even though be had been the owner of a Safs for years, that could tell anything of its structure beyond its ex terior, and even in that his knowledge seemed vague and indefinite. I have found the owners ignorant as to the principle relied upon against lire. and nearly so as to resistance against the burglar, Bow, why is thief I ray there is but one rational solution to this question. The maker bas net had suMelent confidence in his structure to apply thoroughly and perfectly the princi ples hect the objeote ; thereftore, at must be relied upon to eff the people have been left in darkness rather than light upon this whole matter. and should I sue cud in this attempt to throw any light Imon thin ant, ject r my object wit! have been effecied, With these remarks, I will proceed with my proposition in the following c rder Filet, I shall notice the indispensable requirements necessary to make a Fireproof reliable. Second, The oedema defects in the common safe as a. Fire la ,. of Third. The great advantages the Chilled Iron Safe possesses as a Fire proof. Fourth. The indispensable requirements necessary to make a Burglar-proof reliable. - Fifth, The serious defects in the common Safe as a Burg lar-proof Sixth, The great advantages the Chilled Iron Safe pos sesses as a Burglar-paoar First What is required to make a Fire- proof reliable? The first requisite is strength—strength sufficient to re sist the fall or heavy walls or timbers diso. to pretect Itself, in its own fall, from being crushed. The second requisite is ability to resist the action of heat, which is frequently very intense and of long duration. Second. What are the defeats in the common Safe as a Fireproof? The common Safe is made of sheet iron plates, usual ly one-sixteenth to one-twentieth of an inch thick. These plates are not looked at the joints, bat are riveted to bands along the edge and across the centre, on the outer surface. On the inner surface comes the filling or fireproof composition; . and next comes the wood or book case. This constitutes the whole structure, except thedoor flanges, backdoor plate, and the jams for flanges into which thedoor shuts. I now appeal to any good mechanic or ironworker, to any master builder or master mason to say, from their best knowledge and =dement. whether such a strucaire. composed of thin plates of iron, has eireng.h sufficient to resist the fall of heavy walls or timbers, perhaps from a great distance, vtathout serious ininrY; or even to protect itself in a fall, perhaps. from the ,hird or !earth story, without being crushed or badly damaged. Indeed. it must be evident to any man of ordinaryindg meat end experience that Each a structure is greatly de ficient in strength. The common Safe will be thund equally defective in its ability to resist the action of heat. To illustrate this point more fully, I will first state that water is the great fire annihilator, fire's natural enemy, and that Safe-makers generally, after having tried a great variety of experiments, have adopted water as the best protector against fire. To make water avail able, as applied to the Sa'e, different compositions are nerd that are called absorbents—that take np and hold water—such as plaster. lime, and other compounds. There absorbents in the Safe are called fire-proof filling, and are designed, 'when heated, to produce vapor or stesm ; and the greater the supply, and the longer it can be retained in the Safe, the greater the protection. is the structure of the common Safe adapted to this object ? It is made up of johlle. The thin plates warp and spring, the joints open, and the steam misfit pass out as fast as generated, end machos this moisture must pass out by evaporation through thej Diets before the Ore cornea But. it may be said, Why rely upon steam or vapor at all? 'Why not use the material that is the best non-conductor, and rely upon that? I anewer, the principle is not applicable to the Safe. for the reason that iron flanges must be used to hold the door when open,- and there must be iron jams or flanges to hold the door When closed. The latter mast extend back to the book-case. to hold the filling or composition. and, as far as possible, prevent evaporation. Iron is a free conductor of heat. anti will set the wood on fire. as the non. conducting material cannot beplaced between it and the wood; but so long as there is vapor or steam to act upon the iron, it cannot heat to act neon the wood. Bence the necessity of water in the form of vapor or steam. Third. Vilna are the great advantages possessed by the Chilled ilron Safe as a Fire-proof? The Chilled Iron Safe is made of a network of wrought-iron bars. 1-4 inch to 3-16 thick, and 2 to 3 inches wide, according to the size of safe. 3.4 inch holes are drilled through these bars over the whole surface, leaving a space of about two inches between them, and the space between the bars Is about a half inch. These bars form the inner surface ot the body of the Safe. Into these bars cast iron is Poured, which tills up the holes In the bars and the space between the bars, and ties the one thoroughly to the Other. and at the same time the cast iron covers the outer surface of these bars 3-4 to 11-2 Inch thick, making the thickness solid Iron /1-4 to 2 inches, according to size of Safe. The bare will not break and the cast iron will not bend; therefore, the one mutates the ether. The bars are perfect chillers to the cast iron. which makes it Drill-proof;and as the Safe is cast in one piece, it is without mints, except the door. The door flanges and jams are ranch stronger in the Chilled Mon than the common Safe, and more firmly attached. Pare lime is the beet absorbent, and is adapted to the Chilled Iron Safe, as weight is not required. In the common Safe it is mixed with dry or some heavy substance, as weight is required, which materially lessens the quantity of water or vapor. Having thus minutely given the structure of the Chilled Iron and the common Safe, it will be very easy to form correct conclusions as to their merits. Dv ill be observed, first, that the medium sired Chilled Iron Safe has a solid body of wrought and east iron, one and a half inches thick, without mints or rivets, and must neeetesrily .retist the fall of walls and timbers; also, that a tall cannot injure cr crush it And should it crack on the outer surface by heat or water, the crack can only extend to the bars, leaving at least a hail Inch in thickness of solid iron, that cannot crack. Second, That it cannot warp, or spring. or get out of share, and AR there is no joist but the door, and fin that expands when hot, so as to fill up the joint. the Safe bre comes vapor-tight, and the vapor cannot escape. Also. that there is no lose by evaporation before the fire, as there are no Joints. Third. That the action of heat through solid trent% inches thick is mild and will produce only a vapor, while the action of the saws beet through a thin Iron plate will produce steam. and that the vapor can be re tained in a Safe. while the steam must go out. Further, that so long as team or vapor can be retained in any Sale the contents s are eeenre. Having thus fairly and candidly presented the funda mental principles applicable tO the Safe as a Fire-Proof. with their bearings and effect., and having Shown, as I think. most conctusively, the very great advantages the Chilled Iron Cafe possesses over the common Safe as a Fire-Proof. I propose to continue this article to the next issue. it being quite lengthy, when I shall take up the three next points in their order. and shall endeavor to show the very great advantages the Chilled iron Safe has over all others as a Burglar-Proof at C.
