PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTAL OR INCEN'
DIARY FIRES.
London and Birmingham Railway Office,
Euston Station, Bth April, 1844.
em instructed to send the enclosed report of
the results of the public experiments on your Fire-
resisting Boxes and Safes, at the Camden Station of this
Company, which was authorised by the Directors to be
made under the immediate superintendence of their own
officers; and to congratulate you on the complete success
of the very severe trials'by which you have allowed your
admirable invention to-be tested.

I am, sirs, your obedient servant,
R. CREED, Secretary.
Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son, Liverpool.

MILNERS' NEW PATENT
FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE, AND CASH
BOXES, BOOK SAFES, AND GUNPOWDER
MAGAZINES, &c., &c.,
WARRANTED TO BEAR MORE HEAT, WITHOUT INJURY
TO THEIR CONTENTS, THAN ANY OTHERS OF EQUAL

DIMENSIONS.

Of 14 graduating sizes, suitable for all purposes, from
30s. to £l4 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling
the thickness, and trebling the resisting power 50 per
cent. more each size.
The Chambers within Milners' Boxes and Safes con-
tain the best Chemical non-conductor of heat, and Tubes
imbedded therein filled with alkaline fluid, which escapes
into the non-conductor whenever Fire reaches the Box
and heats it to the boiling point, steaming the chambers
and contents, neutralizing in the latent heat of the steam
1000 degrees of heat, keeping down the temperature, and
preventing ignition.
From every pint of fluid in the Chamber is slowly dis-
charged into and condensed in the contents of the Box
upwards of 200 Gallons of Steam, of more certain avail
in saving the Papers than tons of water thrown into a
burning building with the same object.
The advantage of this principle, embracing " the exclu-
sive use of any material evolving moisture on the applica-
tion of heat," over every other description of Box or Safe,
is the advantage that Water has over every thing else in
quenching Fire.
An Iron Safe of one inch in solid thickness exposed to
red heat will char papers within it in fifteen minutes, and
remain a burning prison for them for hours afterwards.
Milner's Fire-resisting Principle has been investigated,
tested in Red Heat from One to Twelve Hours, in various
thickness, from 1 to 6 inches, and approved by the au-
thorities and scientific and practical men, in the leading
towns of the three kingdoms.
