PUBLIC TEST
_OF TANN'S_ PATENT FIRE-

PROOF SAFES,
BEFORE THE AUTHORITIES OF GLASGOW,
HARRISON and Co., SOLE PROPRIETORS
• for the Manufacturing Districts of TANN'S PATENT
FIRE-PROOF SAFES, &c., take this mode of informing the
Public of the particulars of a test to which one of their 24-inch
Patent Safes was subjected to in Glasgow, on Thursday,
October 17,1850. A fire was made in an enclosure on Blyths- ,
wood Holm, the magnitude of which may be conceived, when
it is known that 48 cwt. of coal aulti cart load of wood were
employed for the purpose. The following articles, with other
papers and books, were lockeerup in the Safe prior to its being
placed in the fire :—Parchnient, deeds, bank notes, a watch,
&c. This done, the Safe was buried in the fire, wherei it re-
mained for the peripd of three hours and a-half (a space of
time longer than epp) Safe of similar dimensions has ever been
subjected to). So intense was the heat, that the brass knob,
&c„ on the door were found to be melted away when the Safe
was taken out, yet, on ot.ening the Safe, the contents were
found in a perfect state of preservation. The bank notes were
safe, the watch was going and indicated the exact time ; and
the very wax seals on the parchment documents were neither
softened in the least perceptible degree, nor the documents
themselves indicative of having been anywhere else than in a
place of perfect safety. These facts are certified by the signa-
tures of upwards of fifty of the scientific, commercial, and
practical men of Glasgow.
TANN'S SAFES

being made of STRONG WROUGHT IRON, afford effectual re-
sistance to falling timbers, brickwork, &c., in case of fire;
they are also fitted with the Patent Reliance Lock, invented
expressly and used solely for these Safes, (which the Patentees
guarantee cannot be opened by the most adroit hand or by any
mechanical appliance whatsoever,) thereby rendering them
perfectly secure against the attacks of the most determined
burglar. Safes made of thin sheet iron cannot be Fire-proof,
and are next to useless.

EXTRAORDINARY and SUCCESSFUL RESIST-
ANCE to ROBBERS of MILNER'S "HOLDFAST"
and FIRE RESISTING SAFE.
THE STRONGE-T SAFEGUARD EXTANT AGAINST
ROBBERY AND FIRE.

Early last year, Messrs. Wm. Watson and Co., (late Watson
Brothers,) applied to Thos. Milner and Son, to construct for
them one of their strong Holdfast Safes or Chests, to contain
10,000 dol'ars in silver, for its raft conveyanFeover the moun-
tains from the mines to Tampico. T 'Gentleman writing for
tile Safe was at the time lying fined to his bed from a
bullet and two bayonet woun e had received in an attack of
the Mexican robbers on a sable convoy, in which the Safe
he then used was broke up and plundered of a large amount
of specie. The Safeand Wagon constructed for it were ex-
hibited at our works, and to several Liverpool houses, and met
with great approval from several of our engineers and prac-
tical men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of the
Public, andi we have great pleasure in announcing that we have
received the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr.
Watson, who has since given us permission to publish it.

"Derby Buildings, 20th September, 1850.
"Mr. WisTSON presents his compliments to Mr. MILNER,
sad has to communicate to him the following extract of a letter,
dated the Ilth ultimo. from his partner, at Tampico :
" The Iron Waggon and Safe, (ex Josephine,) with Sixty Bars
of Silver, was attacked by Forty-Ave Robbers. between Catore
and San Luis Potosi, and they worked twelve hours to open the
Chest, and did not succeed; meantime assistance came from
San Luis Potosi.
"This is very satisfactory, and does you credit, and will, no
doubt, lead to further orders."
The whole of the outside of this Safe was half-inch wrought-
tron, proof against sledge-hammers, chisels, or any other vio-
lence, and well it did its duty. We have at this time a number
of large Banker's and Merchant's Safes in course of construe-
tion—oue for a Diamond Merchant in London—of which we
invite the attention of the Public. Our Works are the most
extensive and complete of their class in the world, employing
more experienced Workmen (upwards of 100, assisted by the
most approved and powerful machinery) than all the Safe-
makers in England together—a Lancashire Workshop well
worth looking over. Its whole operations—from the cutting
up and working of the Wrought-iron Plates and Bars, from the
thickness of a half-crown to that of its diameter, to the
building up of these superb and massive Safes—the filling of
Their chambers with the Fire-resisting materials—the arrange-
ment of their powerful Hinges, Bolts, and impregnable Locks
—altogether are well worthy of the study of the Mechanic and
the Man of Science.

THOS. MILNER AND SON,

LORD-STREET.
