FIRE PROJECTION
At AUBURN PLANT
New Fire Extinguisher System In
stalled in the Plant CT the Au-
burn Wagon Works.

The rlant OF the Auburn Wagon Co.
is now equipped with new automatic
fire extinguishing system, the work
Of installing 1t having been completed
today This was done by the Gener-
al Fire EStinguishing CO.. of Warren,
O., and it has taken about six weeks
and half dozen men TO finish the
job
The water supply Is obtained from
two large tanks newly built. This,
however, was separate contract
from the extinguishing system. The
one tank surmounts a 60-foot steel
tower and holds $4,000 gallons OF
water The other one is at the base
of the tower and has capacity OF
10000 gallons The top tank supplies
the automatic sprinklers, while the
bottom is for the reserve water sup
ply In addition to this artificial water
supply there is a large steam fire
pump capable of delivering 1000 gal
Ions of water an hour to supply the
various fire plugs in the plant for
hose attachments.
This new eXtinguisher system is in
genious but easily understood The
water mains enter the buildings from
under the ground and are then car
ried TO the roof; thence branches rad
late from the mains at each bay Of
the roof. On these branches at every
six feet there is a sprinkler. These
sprinklers are so arranged as to auto
matically throw an umbrella shap 4
spray OF water in case OF fire.
When a fire occurs the rising tenn
perature melts fusible link holding
spring which, in turn, holds car
over the nozzle OF the sprinkler. This
releases the cap which flies up, caus
| ing stream of water to gush out
and this striking concave plate
throws spray of water over the fire
This all takes place when the tenn
perature reaches a certain point
which is usually 155 degrees Fair.
The system consists of dry and wet
| The latter has wster inxthe pipes al
the Time while the former has only
air. An automatic air valve allows
water to flow into the air system
when the sprinkler is opened.
Whilst the extinguisher system has
cost lot of mon y the expenditure
is compensated by the consequent
lower insurance rates.
