- The Greatest Of Safe Doors. RS:
One of the largest, If not the largest
doors in the country, was hung on the
Manhattan Saving, Banks vault last
week. 1t weighs eight tons and has
thirty-six Its that hold it when
locked. This ponderous door is so nicely
balanced that a two-year-old child can
open or close it. It required the ser.
vices Of sixteen men, an engine and sew.
eral jack-screws to get it in place, but
the workmanship at the shop had beer
so well done that two men fitted and
finished the job in three hours.
1t was from this bank that Jimmy
Hope and a number of his pals stole
over q half million dollars worth
of United States bonds in 1873. Hope
b as no chance at this safe.
