Is a simple apparatus, which will infallibly detect an incipient fire, and give prompt warning in the apartment where the fire is breaking out, and in others, however remote, by ringing a bell or bells—either in the building or outside it. It is simple and safe; introduces no dangerous material; never wears out; and consumes nothing whatever. When once fixed it will last a life-time, if not wilfully or carelessly injured. There is no doubt that ultimately it will be as common at sea as the compass, and on land as the clock.
Price of the portable Instrument complete, with Bell, from 25s. to 50s.,
according to style and finish.
Scott’s Tubular Fire-Watch, an improvement upon Taylor’s can be
applied to any dwelling house, warehouse, factory, shop, or ship, by estimate.
(2.) THE EXTINGUISHER.
Phillip’s Patent Extinguisher
Is the most effective self-acting Fire-Engine in existence. It will put out any fire that is confined to one apartment instantaneously; and may be used without difficulty, even by a boy or girl. It costs nothing to charge it; is a good garden Engine; an excellent window-cleaner; and in all respects thoroughly sound and reliable.
Price from £3 to £5 each, according to size and finish.
(3.) THE ESCAPE.
Scott’s Family Fire Escape
Is capable of being applied to any window from the inside, and will carry a family, in perfect ease and safety, from the highest story, in a few minutes. It is useful also for cleaning windows, and is an excellent lift for getting furniture and other goods into the house.
Price complete, £10.
We have also small Escapes for a man alone, at lower prices. But the Family Fire-Escape is applicable to almost every imaginable case, and may be fully depended upon.
